"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."
- James D. Nicoll

"English is the result of Norman men-at-arms attempting to pick up Saxon barmaids and is no more legitimate than any of the other results."
- H. Beam Piper

'Cause I love that first quote, and that second one's pretty amusing, too. I wish I'd known them well enough to quote a couple weeks ago... Conor, Milan, Aston and I were going to play darts, and Aston said something, I think, that I corrected. And he started questioning why someone not from the country which invented the language could say how something is supposed to be said. And somewhere in there I said that English is a bastard language anyway... would have been nice if I'd had those quotes to back me up. Eh, bien.
