    *sigh*

    Language is more than just words, it's how those words are used/understood by the people you're speaking to.

    That's why the English used in Ye Olden Days is still English, and the English we speak now is still English.

    Languages change and evolve over time <ok>

    You pathetic little simpleton.

    Good afternoon everyone. I've had a really good **** today - must be all the rich Christmas food I've eaten. Couldn't resist to have a look to see what it was like. I wasn't surprised to see that it looked a damned sight more intelligent than Toby's been on here today. [every day].

    Sorry I should have elaborated. I meant in general not on this one particular thread. I was wondering if one of the reasons we, the English, are disliked is because we forced our tongue upon you all.

    Actually the language we speak tody was imposed (holistically speaking) on the English by the Anglo-Saxons, the Celts, The French, The vikings and the church (Latin).
