Quote - sam, written english has evolved (approx. 50 yrs behind vernacular) by the introduction of
foreign words (dutch, french, spanish, italian et al.). even now ye'll see louts at grudge site
forums using slang terms like bint (arabic) or chav (urdu) and they've got no idea they're
using arabic or urdu in english parlance. in 50 yrs those will be so regularly seen in print
that nobody will even notice.
Sure thing. Don't care about them, either; new words and usages are always good, IMO. Split infinitives are still ugly, though.
BTW, chav, bint and pukka were all words used in army slang over here at least 70 years ago. Funny how they came around again.
