May 9 07: quote for the day
Because I love it so: James Nicoll on my native tongue, and the habits thereof.
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. [source]
As it happens, this Mr. Nicoll has said a lot of amusing things, and many of them are listed on Wikiquote.
