True...but true.

Check with your German friends, just ask why they can't skip those stupid capital nouns.

German is all about precision in expressing yourself.
Not always that convenient, though.

The Japanese are smarter, their fuzzy way of expressing themselves always leaves a way out the back door, even at the very last moment. At the end of the sentence, if the speaker senses a bad mood in his audience, putting the final verb in negative he can with one final word change the whole meaning of his last sentence :)
That said, their language always holds the highest level of precision about revealing their place (rank) in society.

Nothing for you libs - but great for your gays, since Japanese male and female languages are quite different.
You guess how Japanese gay guys speak, right?
