      Bingo.

      English is the drunken bully of languages, stealing words and claiming them as its own.

        Nope—that’s how all language work. Like go study Japanese and see how many words they “stole” from English 🤣

        And linguistic purism is generally associated with nationalism. See the GOP’s recent English-only policies as an example. No bueno.

        Languages mixing and ‘stealing’ from each other is a good thing. One human race. ✌️
