The evolution of the English language

[Danbones]

Hey, they use the CO2 and temp graphs I have posted around here somewhere:
yee haw!
I are smort!
btw, the light bends around the moon during eclipses
so it has to have more then one velocity to bend due to gravity


I am a sEEentist

Japanese probably has more loanwords than any other language. Even the very Japanese "Pokémon" comes from the English "pocket monster".

Around 42% of words in English are loanwords, although the vast majority of the words we speak in normal everyday speech are Anglo-Saxon.

Just 2% of Chinese words are loanwords.

That's what makes Chinese more logical and easier to learn. Computer is diannao (electric brain), man (as in adult male) is nanren (male person), woman is nuren (female person), boy is nanhai (male child), girl is nuhai (female child). nan means male when referring to a human, gong when referring to an animal. nu means female when referring to a human, mu when referring to an animal. So gongji is rooster, muji is hen. gongzhu is boar, muzhu is sow. gongniu is ox, muniu is cow. etc.

Most of the language comprises compound words made up of such logically combined roots.

Don't worry. A few years from now and it'll be growing again. Glaciers retreat and grow and retreat and grow. Tis the way of things.

Maybe, the Alt-Reich is dead wrong.

I know yer smart. I 'll post an interesting bit about gravity when I remember where I put it.

I are a sighintest *** wheel.

German is a derivative of protoeuropean

All Indo-European languages are derivatives of Proto-Indo-European.
