Unfortunately don't have the authority to speak for "the English", despite being born there (the West Midlands... the horror... the horror...) and I currently reside on the right (Northern) side of the border.

Out of the 4 languages I speak, English is the second most spoken language on Earth, and probably high up on the list of how many borrowed words they are.

I find this ironic, what with Brexit, England losing in the Euro's etc. A lot of 'English Nationalist' idiots are waving the
St. Geroge's cross around. Well, St.G was Greek, and so are most of the younger members of the Royal Family through Philip.

Where were we again? Heads? Always better than tails!

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
