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.

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.
