Did you know that Croatian has somewhat idiotic grammar rules? Well, now you do.

Exceptions. Croatism words (when you turn a foreign word into Croatian word, I dunno how to explain).

You have to know Croatian to see what I'm talking about, really.

Yeah, but you don't see it, until you know other languages.

Hah yeah. Since I've started learning Latin, I see so many connections in ALL languages. It's incredible. 90% of the English vocabulary has a root in Latin.

When I was learning english in my primary school, I was surprised, that it is no declination in it.
A few years ago it was a fashion (in groups of thieves/criminals/young people with nothing to do), to write/spray on the walls "Chuj w dupę policji" or "CHWDP", which mean "fuck the police". But many of them were so dumb, that they were writing "hój w dópe polici" or "hwdp". So yeah, in Poland you need to be good at grammar if you want to insule somebody.
