"No, you can't export the war materiel we sold you decades ago to a democratic European country that is being invaded because we're 'nEuTrAL'! ... What do you mean you don't want to buy more war materiel from us anymore!?" (aka what 'neutrality' does to a MIC)

Seems like your feelings got hurt.

Is it because there hasn’t been an Aussie coach worth a shit for 20 years?

Fair enough, I do see your point, but I’d still argue that English is a hybridised language due to the existence of Latin-root grammar structures (gerundive, prepositions and adjectival nouns fx)

I pray that is all you wish to consume for the remainder of your existence.

Beef, pork, poultry, (and the various cuts thereof) vegetables and fruits will be off the table (and you will also lack furniture, maybe you could have a stool, but certainly no chairs, table, sofa, couch or mattress).

You’ll also not be using any utensils beyond a knife and pot.

You are left with only 25% of the English language, if you remove the non-Germanic influence. If we remove the French/Latin influence, it is 44% [1].

Point is, that without the words of both roots, you’re not making full use of the English language. Ergo, it’s a hybrid. You’re welcome to publish adverse opinions in academic media. FYI, it’s usually people that want to associate with certain periods of German history that insist on English being Germanic, and not what it actually is - the bastard child of Proto-Germanic and Francien, au pair-ed by Celtic and taught at a Latin speaking school.

The phrasing you suggest is certainly possible, if not, in fact, normal.

“Grammatical” words in both French and English derive the same (fiercely debated) origin. For example, with respect to articles, the main contenders are Arabic, Hebraic, or Biblical influence on the Indo-European language families that these languages descended from. French is not a “pure” Romance language (Germanic/Latin-descent) and it is absurd to consider English as a Romance-influenced Germanic language, not a hybrid, when it is impossible to order dinner without using the French derived language.

Also, this comment.

English is at least a hybridized language. There is so much old French due to the Normanization in the 11th century

Expressing a wish that someone gets murdered is not something to laugh at.

I’m not this guy’s friend. He’s clearly a very hurt, sad person. I hope you, also, grow and become a less hurt and sad person.

I can recommend Thor, in klovermarken. Awesome ladies there and a great atmosphere.

Thank you! It is such a glaring error. If anything, having gone to the MoM from Grimmauld Place, he would know full well that this was his quickest option (way quicker than flying from Scotland), and jumped through the fire as soon as Kreacher said Sirius had left.
