Oh, Rena, you're reminding me of school too early!!! They're adorable but I bet troublemakers to the bone! Note on derivatives of English lanuage. It's a Germanic language but since the Norman Conquest French has also permeated it with heavy additions of Latin and Greek. Basically, everyday vocabulary (language of common folk)has German roots, highbrow language is French (Kings and Queens after the Conquest were French, so it was the language of the court and aristocracy) and of course the church was intent on spreading Latin and that has held fast in official institutions. Simple example: ask/question/interrogate The progress is from the more simplistic to the more formal. Needless to say vocabulary associated with science, medicine, art, literature, music is basically of Greek origin. OK, end of lesson :) See what you did Rena? I told you you reminded me of school!
