* not as often as you think.

As an aside, the language that drove my batty was German. They have (IIRC) six words for “the” and six words for “a”, all gender (not physical gender) and case dependent. Further, you are expected to put endings on adjectives (also gender and case dependent) and some of the word order rules are wild. I remember an example something like:
I would have gone home first, but I had to go to the store, turns into something like: I would home first, but had I to store go gone.
