Sometimes it is both would and could, especially in combination with not.

Luckily other languages are capable of more well defined stuff, there is not even need for
that badly needed moronic encyclopedia

Btw, why is english still written the way it was not even spelled nor pronounced when the romans made fun of it??

Note, you could and should abuse this as a reason for the lousy reading and writing skills of the present anglo-murricans, that critical connection brain-spelling-paper-media.

Ouch, forget those chinese, and those japanese..well.. almost anyone.. any regular african mastering the regular six languages..ouch-ouch-ouch.. english is still as fun as ever.

However, I agree with some of the mongolian version, adapted to only two parties and wheels

Politically, and linguistically, I totally agree with the old greek version on the idiotes.
