WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE ENGLISH FORUM IS TERRIBLY POOR?

Quote: I disagree with you in regard to the statement above… and would like to ask, if you have heard of the saying “Survival of the fittest” (Darwin Theory).. if you did'nt... The jest of what he came up with is that all beings had to adapt to the environment they are in; in order to survive… Also fittest referred to those individuals that are functionally most capable to tackle life challenges … Thus, to me English is a non optional mean of survival. However I hate it as a mean of communication when it’s an option.. Like I said before it’s a dry and emotionless language (personal opinion)… Please note that I am diverting Sir Darwin’s saying and using if to explain my situation but Darwin’s main concern was survival in the sense of the ability to pass on good geans and produce offspring’s.

I must appreciate your enriching this post;
As for Darwin, I first came to know about his evolutionist theory in my first Arcaeology course tutored by Prof Zuheir Hassan Babikir at the Faculty of Arts, University of Khartoum in 1986. With my traditional background, I was astounded by his evolutionist approach to the origin and development of mankind. A prelim colleague of mine was even dismissed from class for commenting on the time wasted on such "nonesense"!
You may not agree to the fact that research indicated strong relationship between "positive attitudes toward a language" and "excellent achievement in it". By contrast, negative attitudes result in poor achievement.
I must admit that cases similar to yours have not been addressed by researchers. Therefore, I'm not sure whether or not availability of linguistic choice has anything to do with one's ability to do well in the target language.
Also, we may disagree on the relevance on adaptability. I failed to adapt to the saudi environment; does this mean i have finished, so to speak?
Thanks for complimenting my humble use of English.
