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.
fuck all french origin words in english
they all behave counter to the rest of english logic
What logic?
It had its own logic before the inanity of French came in during the Norman Invasion
Also before the English fixed their spelling in like 1500, and then did 500 years of sound shifting. It needs a spelling reform, desperately.
