Thanks, mate. If you’ve got other theories like that, I don’t want to hear them either

I am equally surprised and enertained by how offended some people are regarding this article.

FYI: The above sentence contains 7 words that come from old french/latin, and 7 that come from old english/german

As a person with ears who is mildly versed in English and enough Spanish to get some landscaping done, it's extremely obvious that French is the badly pronounced English, and not vice versa.
