  1. The word “around” comes from the Middle English word “around,” which consists of the Old English prefix “a-” (“on, at”) and the word “round”. The word “round” itself was borrowed into English from French. 

  2. I know Daft Punk being french is supposed to be the joke but

    a) isnt it kind of telling that the go to example isnt even a native english speaking band. You have to find a non native band to counter that point.

    and

    b) around comes from french

  3. The honhonhon French and the erwerwerw French

    (Erwerwerw is how English sounded to me before I learned it)

  4. English is a Germanic language, but there’s a little Brythonic Celtic substrate in tags and hedges, plenty of French and Latin vocab, and a few words nicked from Greece, Wales, and India. Probably one of the reasons it’s so good to write in, honestly, that and the flexibility.

    Wrth gwrs i siariad, mae’n well gyda fi i ddefnyddio’r iaith brodorol (ac yn techneg iawn iawn dyw Saes ddim yn brodorol).

  5. Pah. Without the Germanic-rooted words in english you couldnt even form coherent english sentences to begin with. As always Pierre trying to make themselfes more important than they actually are

  6. And all French is derived from old “italian” a.k.a. latin… And so on…

    In conclusion: French is just a misstanke along the way, the neanderthals of language.

  7. Around is so of course latin, how is it not intuitively obvious to anyone
