English is a awful language to learn. ...Latin-based language, like Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese...Their grammatical rules are typically much more elegant.

Maybe so, but it is efficient. Next time you look at any document printed in several languages, take a look at the lengths of each translation. English is always the shortest.

Have you ever looked at Semetic languages like Hebrew or Arabic? Not only do they omit the "be" verb in the present tense, but they also don't have vowels written out. As a result, text in those languages is almost always shorter than English. Of course, they are horrifically complicated in other ways.
