The second of two fun, experimental takes on features English lacks and has. Part one lives here:
Last time we met skills English is missing compared to other languages, now it’s time for what it does have:
- (its spelling system)
- suppletive ordinals
- obligatory plurals
- definite and indefinite articles
- possession with “have“
- perfect with “have“
- passive voice
- asymmetric noun-pronoun alignment
- particle comparative with “than“
- interdental fricatives
- rhotics
- r-colored vowels (ahem, “coloured“)
- nounless adjectives with “one“
