    English is a deeply flawed but intensely playful language. It’s like the weird kid at the playground who’s clearly a mess, but they’re always down for whatever.

    I took a year in German. It’s much prettier than its reputation in pop culture makes it. One of my favourite words is sehnsucht, and I keep trying to get anglophones to steal it.
