heh.

I guess it helps that more than half a millenium ago the fine folks on
those islands tried to learn French real hard [by virtue of being
conquered by the French] - and thus a healthy subset of the English
language (especially the more newfangled words) has thus become ... erm
... French? ;-)

Doh, i misspoke. What happened _really_ is that those friendly folks let
the French in as guests, and during that time of mutual understanding the
French learned and adopted half of the English language - greatly easing
communication today.

( And apparently there was some mingling with germanic tribes as well,
a few thousand years before that. Back then those germanic savages were
taught bits of proper English as well. )

( And then those folks forked their language into a "British" and "US"
versions. It is forwards compatible: if you speak British English then
by definition you can speak US English, but never the other way around.
US English was then taught to indian tribes - who, tens of thousands of
years ago, happened to have spoken the same language that the ancestors
of the germanic tribes spoke. [Or perhaps they spoke ancient Japanese -
memories are a bit fuzzy, records incomplete, and the issue is not fully
settled yet.] Anyway, it came around in a happy global circle and they
all speak English now! ;)

[ Except the celts, who insist that they were around even sooner than
that - starting in the happy times when you could walk on feet from
Scotland to Sweden with only a battle axe in your hand, when you
could slide stones weighing tons down an ice glacier and ship them to
flatland to build funny stone circles - and from whom everyone else
on this continent learned all the things worth learning. ]
