This true?

thats contemporary shit-head-who-calls-piss-on-a-canvas-art-english

most any english literary piece before 1940 has either Germanic or Latin like structure

compare Moby Dick to Meme Jest or John green

In the context of being someone outside of a predominantly English speaking country, this is mostly correct. In the context of being someone within a predominantly English speaking country, whose mother tongue is English, I've found that people with a shit grasp of English tend to be idiots more often than not.

as someone who regularly works with students for whom english is a second language which they've been poorly taught, i can say with confidence that while it isn't a measure of "intelligence," i do tend to find that unclear thinking is expressed in unclear language. you take two students with approximately the same competency, and i promise you that the one who has done their homework (in whatever language they choose to read) will express themselves more clearly than the one who threw it together. i would even say that this applies for students with lower language competence. it does not seem to matter how well they can speak or write: if they understand the material they find the expression.

of course none of this is quantified or quantifiable unless you rely on sociological methods which don't tell you anything but what the student believes about their competence. but the point is that in my fairly extensive experience with non-native speakers and writers, studying the material you're expected to write on matters more than studying the language in which you're expected to write it, up to a certain point.

mind you i'm not talking about interpretations of Hegel. this are pro-con research assignments, yes-or-no business ethics papers, book reviews—work intended purely to ensure a student can follow directions and gather research. but i think the point about language competency stands, especially because i'll get native speakers who put together shittier writing than my second language students.

>word equivalency

find me an adequate english translation of Vorstellung and i'll give you a philosophy chair in any department of your choosing lol. obviously i'm being hyperbolic.

besides syntax matters more for what that user is talking about, and english syntax is analytic and rigid.

you're a profligate

Sounds pretentious

American English is actually the best language for a number of reasons. One, it is fluid without being overly so. Two, it is able to incorporate words from other languages and has the most number of words of any language - American English especially, due to America's rich multiethnic heritage (this is also why Americans can say "pasta" or "taco" without sounding like utter retards, as the British do). Three, its rules are loose and can be bent without obscuring meaning.

act is for brainlets in flyover states, real wizkids take the SAT

But it is. Studies of breadth of language correlates with IQ.
