How do you even quantify something like "information rate"?

>Italians are some of the fastest speakers on the planet, chattering at up to nine syllables per second. Many Germans, on the other hand, are slow enunciators, delivering five to six syllables in the same amount of time. Yet in any given minute, Italians and Germans convey roughly the same amount of information, according to a new study. Indeed, no matter how fast or slowly languages are spoken, they tend to transmit information at about the same rate: 39 bits per second, about twice the speed of Morse code.

did you know that nihongo does not have a lot of swearwords except aho and baka so more and more japanese have started incorporating the word 'fuck' in their vocabulary. I see it all the time in their live streams

So people have to move their tongues and mouths faster in order to convey the same amount of information in the same amount of time. Sounds tiring.

Most of the loanwords have been naturalized after being in the English language for hundreds of years so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

The issue is not "information rate" (wtf) but consistent and logical language grammar, spelling, pronunciation. English suck at all three and is only prevalent due to history. A massive spelling and grammar reform is sorely needed.

no cognates, entirely different word order, tons of characters to memorize, each character has multiple pronunciations, strict/complex politeness registers, etc.

"Logical" languages are SOVLless, though. And our spelling, while not completely phonetic, doesn't need to be.
Our spelling is primarily etymological and a phonetic spelling reform would make a lot of words the same and ruin the continuity between different forms of a word. (ex. natural /ˈnæt͡ʃ(ə)ɹəl/ vs nature /ˈnei̯.tʃə(ɹ)/)
That and English has a bunch of dialects and accents so a spelling reform wouldn't be able to reflect most people's pronunciation.

Japs can't even say "ching chong nip nong" and they live in Asia. How do you manage to live in Asia for thousands of years and not develop a writing system and language that lets you pronounce your pings and pongs without fucking it up?

I guess it's information per syllable.
our language is notorious to have only "vowel" and "consonant-vowel" types of syllables, which increases the number of vowels.

no. it's actually two.
The spring and autumn are just the brief periods of less than a month where days randomly switch between summer and winter.

We put spaces between our words when writing so you can tell when one ends and the next begins.
