I'm German and agree. German grammar should be simplified, much in it is complicated and pretty useless.
On the other hand, I prefer the German spelling of words over the English spelling. It is simpler, more like we speak. You use more letters or letter combinations for the same speech sound than we. And although I suppose that there are more English than German words, I feel that yours are more ambiguous than ours. We link short words in order to make new terms, sometimes we overdo it.
