 Yes, i don't really care for them, they've always been a problem 
when i've learned any language, and one of my priorities was to 
create a very simple language. I think that 3 irregular verbs is 
good enough!

  That's right. I had a similar problem with using the personal 
subject pronouns; i wasn't sure if it was important to use them or 
not, since French does it but not the other languages, except to 
emphasize. And i came up to the same conclusion: it doesn't really 
matter, both ways are correct to me as long as the sentence is 
understandable.
