Spanish is a complicated and elegant language, like any Romance language. While English might seem complicated and non-standard because it is actually made up of both Romance and Germanic language elements, it’s so eccentric that people can speak it as badly as they want and still be understood! That’s an advantage.

In its day, Latin was like that. Any primitive people the Romans took over could get together enough elements of the language to communicate, which is, after all, the function of a language.

I don't know. Would you rather live in Boca Raton or Mouse's Mouth?

For Example: Spanish word of the day, “Bishop”

My girlfriend fell down the stairs man, I had to pick the bishop.

On what do you base your opinion of superiority? What makes one language superior to another?

You are aware that, if not for the Great Vowel Shift in the history of English, we’d probably all sound German...right?
