"Lazy language memes if Shoundavish really existed"

Yes, English does have umlauts, it just doesn't use a diacritical mark to denote them 😁

Language lovers, when they see conversations between people from different time periods or with aliens in movies:
"How can they understand each other?"

"In my time there were no controversies about pronouns"
Meanwhile, inside the Romance language family:

"When you've been advised to practise your target language with native speakers, but your target language is Old Saxon"

"The Michael Jackson-shaped Great Vowel Shift doesn't exist, it cannot harm you"

The Michael Jackson-shaped Great Vowel Shift:

My reaction when someone finds the sound /x/ ugly in German, Russian or Arabic
"Oh I see, what Spanish uses it, it's cute, but when German, Russian or Arabic use it, it's scary, utterly scary!"

In fact English should have kept þ and ð too, it would have been more practical to distinguish voiced and voiceless th, and overall I prefer when one sound corresponds to one letter.

I know many people would think the opposite, but English is more conservative than German regarding consonants, due to its total lack of the High German Sound Shift (including þ > d) and the preservation of /w/, which shifted to /v/ in German. English can be strikingly conservative sometimes!
