English is the language of the world mate, don't get upset because you Americunts can't speak it properly.
>>63994915
It has no pronounciation rules though.

It obviously does.
The flexibility of English is a good thing when you consider that in some languages if you mispronounce a word people won't even talk to you.
>>63994932
no rules>genders and more than 3 tenses
>>63994998
It's retarded as shit though. We have cases like Brett Favre pronouncing his name like Farve and shit like that and getting away with it since there are no rules to speak of.
>>63995013
It doesn't desu.
>>63995054
You do realise that favre is a french name right? It has nowt to do with english's rules

Arguably. English despite the clusterfuck of a pronounciation is a really simple language.

Is the word "either" being pronounced as "i-ther" or "eether"?
I've heard both versions and it's confusing as fuck

The city centre is a hobbling collection of the physically fucked up, mentally shot and totally unemployable of the world. White, black, brown yellow or slav, they crawl through the streets in a permanent state of despair.
Parts are rough as fuck, more ethnically divided than they used to be. Avoid white estates, Somalian and Asian ghettos.
Lots of good places, a gloomy sarcastic humour, Chat Shit scoring for fun in an extended 42k stadium, beautiful country parks just outside the city. You could do worse.

Leicester is Hindu Indians. Muslims are about 18%.
>>63997490

lel, is this actually considered not much in England these days?
Berlin, our by far most multicultural city, is like 10% Muslim....
>>63997523
Muslim only make up 2-3% overall but some smaller cities are pretty overrun
>>63997523
No, I'm just saying that everybody on the internet immediately claims Leicester = Muslims, which is not true.
Poles are more likely to fuck you up in Leicester than muslims.

Polaks are the 2nd biggest immigrant group over here as well
But somehow ours are generally well integrated, although some of them like our cars are bit too much....
>>63994932
yeah it does but they're retarded as fuck

wind, lead, read, the list could go on

>although some of them like our cars are bit too much....

>>63997613
He is implying they are car thieves. My brother sometimes deals in cars, the only time he's been stitched up by somebody he at first 'trusted', it was a Pole. Beware.
>>63997613
There's a stereotype over here that Polaks are car thieves.
It's based on the fact that car theft rates are unusually high in the German/Polish border region.
But obviously those thieves aren't really immigrants, they just go over the border, steal a German car and then immediately gtfo

>>64002714
yeah most of them are, which makes sense
It's a tough one that's for sure. Let's break it down piece by piece.
Lei - you'd assume this was pronounced "lay", but in fact, the I is silent, so it becomes Lee.
Ces - this is as it seems, sess
Ter - now this is where most people slip up. Ter, simple right? Wrong. Due to regional dialect it's actually pronounced tear, as in rhymes with fear.
So the correct way to pronounce it is like so:
lee-sess-fear

I still have no idea why the spellings stayed with the 1000+ year old names of those places while most of the rest got updated with the newer pronunciations.
The Anglo-Saxons would use 'name of people living there'+ceaster as their name for every foreign town or city.
