No yours is just out of context.
Furthermore, that is only in it's very origins; since then, the language, especially in the modern day, borrows far more heavily from said Latin based languages.

Originally posted by omgchosWell it's not what you originally said, you said it was 'mainly german' or something. In the end, does it matter where something starts from if by now it's entirely different. I'm not the foetus I once was, am I? Music isn't still all country or blues, is it? So essentially whatever existed in the roots of English is nearly completely mutilated and changed, even moreso with the new American-English dialects.
That is exactly what i said. i said it came from the germans, or to be more specific germanicSo my origional point stands.... buncha krauts
