That’s the thing, though: McDonald’s is well structured, easy to use, and consistent - unlike French. And, incidentally, a high quality tool isn’t necessarily easy to use - like French.
In fact, I’d argue English fits your three criteria: as it’s effectively a pidgin at least once over, it lost damn near all grammatical structures (rendering it simple) and therefore depends on rigid (consistent) word ordering (structure).
English is a vibes based language with lose grammer and spelling that enables people who speak wildly different native languages ti fairly effectively communicate. It’s the giant bin of random Lego pieces of human languages. It’s unruly, but anyone can pick it up fairly quickly and get to work.
Eh it could be argued this would be better if a more standard language with fewer exceptions were used though. They’re not using English because they had a real choice between different languages.
yes. which is why it sucks. It’s like, yeah a swiss army knife is pretty cool I guess, but I don’t want to debone and chop up a chicken into cubes with it.
No one is forcing you to use English on Lemmy. The German instance is very active, so feel free to only use German since English is such an inconvenience.

English absolutely has grammar, it just has very analytical grammar, unlike many other indo European languages
But not consistent
yeah, having one aspect have rules but other parts descend into complete chaos because it’s a bastard langauge doesn’t make english consistent
