  One of my multilingual friends call English the mixed playdoh version of French and German.

    I hate it honestly. The french spent centuries ruling England and messing up our language just for the rest of the world to make fun of us for it as if it’s our fault.

    Don’t forget the ancient Latin that a bunch of scholars pulled in during the 1600s because the French descendants weren’t fancy enough.

        I would love to see how this shook out when the British start getting possessive about their language in petty retribution. US adopts “hick hoodrat” as it’s first language?
