You're confusing being succinct and logical. English is not as logical as Spanish by a massive stretch.
Ah, burn the witch!

Care to give me an example?

No mi digas tonterias.
This is a succinct reply. It is however utterly illogical as a response to your question. The two concepts have very little overlap. We have a huge number of irregular verbs and other really awkward concepts and exceptions. Many other languages, like Spanish, have fewer of these 'learn all the exceptions'.

Those are slang expressions, there's no point in citing them as examples to compare with other languages, unless you are comparing them with the slang of other languages.
Recite a play / play at a recital - what's wrong with those? Play is a noun or verb.
"Fill out" is a Tony Blair-ism, therefore beneath contempt.
What about flammable and inflammable? Sound like opposites but mean the same thing.
Are you trying to prove or disprove my point?

I don't know; what was your point? (Be succinct)
There isn't much point arguing which language is better. What are you going to do about it?
English is a mixture of several languages and so surely must have more oddities that are difficult to learn.
As people say when talking about the war - if the Germans had one we would be speaking German.
If it wasn't for the Germans you wouldn't be speaking English as we know it in the first place.
Either way, what difference does it make?
Who began starting every sentence with "so"?
Who started the seemingly compulsory unnecessary preposition in the wrong place?
Closed off, blocked off, wired up, swapped out - if you can't use the opposite then it isn't necessary.
The classic traffic reporters' "opened back up".

We could be but also possible we could be talking Russian.
Either or the ethnic make up of this country would be very different.

weird language, but still as said before it's strength is it's fluidity and lack of rigidity.
