I agree that English can be a stupidly hard lanquage to learn, I'm barely proficient with it and I was born in America. Still, it can describe things effectively partly because it utilizes so many different words from different cultures.

For instance, Bacca ( might be spelled wrong) means idiot in Japanese, roughly anyhow, since it also seems to mean stupid and dumb as well. least in how I've seen it used. English of course has stupid, dumb, idiot, moron,goofball, dingaling, fool, about any combination you can think of. The big thing though is that these words can be used to show dagree's of idiocy. IE, a big dummy isn't as stupid as a dithering idiot.
