What do you like about the english language?

I like how it's a fantastic disaster and has so many words for things that are basically the same. I find there are few joys in writing like finding the right word for a sentence, just hunting down a peculiar word with a particular meaning that'll fit so seamlessly in a structure so the words flow without any bumps or leaks. Like how a shout is typically about volume while a yell carries an angry edge and a holler carries a mocking one. A scream has shrillness, a roar has ferocity, and a screech has outrage. Words are great tbh.
