Jorjor says: A paraphrase of a quotation made by James Nicoll. "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." It's hard to find a major language that hasn't been mugged and robbed by English. True. But, we can only lexigram in english...why is that? What do you mean by lexigramming? |
