England = English language.
Derp.

Good job England in making the most complex language possible.



Although I'm mostly referencing the pineapple thing lol.

How the hell do you even pronounce that

I think it's EE-doo, but I'm not sure. The default phonetic voice speaking thing for Google Translate sucks. Just now are some languages getting actual clear speech programs to vocalise foreign words, but not Welsh.
The one for Arabic sounds awesome. I want to have a chat with him. In Arabic.
If only I knew Arabic...
But I digress.
EE-doo.

Kovita, I'll try and content my want to punch you like your avatar and say this: That is wrong. Not everything in the same naming convention follows to the letter. Look up the origins of English language, as there are tons of variations of it and England is absolutely not to blame, at least solely.

[.::Taboo::.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple#Etymology Argh, I'm just trying to point out that you can't trail every oddity in a specific form of English back to England. Some of it came about through other means never involving it.

this thread is about the word yes. you can't expect the english to get an original name for something they've never seen before.

I usually say "yeah", and I'm sure most other people do too.

[Caution]

I can even remember the last time I said yes, I just say yeah or si.
