@nuggetEnglish as a language can be used just as precisely as German. The simple fact that it lacks inflection, and hence according to your point of view lacks precision, is a result of the development of the language over many years.
Instead of inflection the language has a highly developed syntax.
It is largely this syntactical difference that provides the difference between the two major English speaking language groups, to wit, us and them.
English spoken in our former colonies is often different again, due to independent use of the language, ie regional or territorial use.
However I feel this too will fall of deaf ears, talking to the proverbial brick wall.
I would point out though, that we all have two ears and one mouth, generally they should be used in this proportion.
To pontificate about that which someone has little or no knowledge serves them ill.
kind regards
