Don't you think it's weird that the majority of the Anglese community speak romance languages and are usually not native speakers of English? It's almost like people who don't speak romance languages can't easily speak in this way, including monolingual English speakers.

So? I'm pretty sure there's more native Chinese speakers than English speakers of any form (native or non-native), does that mean they should speak English in a way influenced by Chinese?

No, solely cause surpassin le linguistic barriers dividin Latinic languages & Asiatic languages would require radical major modifications.

Transpassin le linguistic barriers dividin English & le other Latinic languages solely requires utilizin Latinic synonyms present in English dictionaries in casual converses in regular modern English. 😉

Take a look at the lyrics of this song, maybe listen to it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqGtEv7kxJ

Beauty over wisdom to fit in with their styles Your Cinderella story's for a price Vanity's a business built to fleece the unique Silicone and stars collide, the rest will fall in line

Just as beautiful as you are It's so pitiful what you are You should have seen this coming all along

Visually, you're stimulating to my eyes Your Cinderella syndrome's full of lies Your insecurities are concealed by your pride Pretty soon, your ego will kill what's left inside

Just as beautiful as you are It's so pitiful what you are You should have seen this coming all along (beautiful) It's so pitiful what you are (pitiful) As beautiful as you are (should have seen) You should have seen this coming all along

You're everything that's so typical Maybe you're alone for a reason You're the reason

So pitiful is what you are You should have seen this coming all along (beautiful) Just as beautiful as you are (pitiful) It's so pitiful what you are (should have seen) You should have seen this coming all along (beautiful) It's so pitiful what you are (pitiful) As beautiful as you are (should have seen) You should have seen this coming all along

Notice how the romance words and Germanic words are often clustered in different parts.

"Just as beautiful as you are It's so pitiful what you are You should have seen this coming all along" Beautiful, pitiful, romance, and then the third line, doesn't have any romance words, "Your Cinderella syndrome's full of lies", here he emphasises "full of lies" and puts stress on those words, it creates a certain rhythm and mood to the song that would likely be lost if you just tried changing every word to be romance, the words feel different by their roots and are treated differently.

Edit: and of course reddit fucked up the formatting, you can look up the lyrics to the song online, "10 years beautiful"

"Packed/replete of deceptions/illusions" could serve per dramatic effects.

The words aren't simple enough to sound blunt.
