Dear, dear fredriley, When is the rest of the world going to realize that us Americans do and think however we please? It's our manifest destiny, sir. All the rest of the world's citizens are just hosts and hostesses when we decide to be tourists.  With my most sincere regards, unclehud |

Reminds me of Romans 12:16. "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited."

It's got a whopping vocabulary, right enough, but the structure is a mess. There's a minority view in linguistic circles that English is a creole language, as those are characterised by the loss of complex structures from the parent languages. I subscribe to this view, not as a linguist, but because it really pisses off English nationalists.

It's pretty much "open source". You can extend it as needed.
For that matter, isn't all language "open sourced?" I love English for its endless inventiveness and flexibility—without some Academy In Charge of The Language banning some words and accepting others.I recall when CDs went into high gear, and the French academy (literally... Academie francaise) decided that they'd had it with the cooption of English words into the French language. Instead of "compact discs," they became "disques numerique," and indeed the latter is slathered all over CD players from Languedoc to Quebec. So, what do the French call CDs? "CDs."  However, in fairness to the Academie, they didn't bristle too very much over the compromise disques compact. |
