Well, you learn foreign languages better at younger ages, and seeing the grunts are small like children, they could learn english and the elites and hunters couldn't.

And elites do speak english. Its just backwards with lowered pitch. Try it out.

Thank God, you're still, angry at me.
I've got, a better chance seeing you dead, and buried, yeah
Thank you, for this, one last, big mistake...

It's your turn, come shoot for it...
If you win, well you can lead the way.
Yeah!

Mid-days are grey, into new days. Hey!
Did you, think maybe I, was doing quite well without you, in the frame?

"Staile, killed in defense."
(Staile, oh wo oh)
I can't believe I told you right after,
"I've given you up, go on find someone new."
Till then pretend, you've touched me for your last, (woah-ho)
I've given you up, go on find someone new.

Dear Nikki, what, (Dear Nikki, what)
What if I could have found a better-half here, in you?
I merely came here and...

Elf Power, New Mexico
Elf Tower, New Mexico

Stay here, in our last standing hourglass, circumstance
Devoted here, in the midst of weary eyes
Lost and buried here, in your big suprise, again.

Well do you think its fine like that?
Familar fit in the questions that I had to ask.

(Smile, tomorrow, you are home.)

I'll give my my words in one lesson.

Dear God,
Before I heard, this is your intention, for I
I could've figured out, over and over.

"See there's Coheed, and then Cambria in innocent merger."
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Thank God they recovered your body in New Mexico.
Three days.
I'm spoiled.
I miss you in everyway.
You could have been dear, I wish you were here, still in the frame.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

The Master Chief does have a translator built into his suit doesn't he?

thats true but why would it only translate grunts, why not the elites jackels and the other, it would make it easyer for him if you think about it

It's because Bungie wanted the grunts to be funny- and they can't be funny if they speak alien. Simple as that.
