I think the French have a difficult time processing complex matters due to the confusion caused by their language having a different word for everything

Actually, the reverse is true. Many French words can have several different meanings. Why do you think the French language is called THE LANGUAGE of DIPLOMACY? English, with a greater vocabulary, is the LANGUAGE of COMMERCE.

I think German would have a tremendous amount of words for everything because they make new ones by compounding older words together. The problem is they make very long words.
