What makes English so interesting for me (and so difficult for learners of it) is that there are so many ways of expressing yourself. A pool of over a million words to choose from, a certain number of these are obscure, some of the remainder will make you sound pretentious. Even after cutting out all the clichés there is still plenty of scope for wordplay. Choosing the “perfect” phrase when doing a translation or proofreading brings an immense amount of satisfaction.
