Subject: RE: BS: Reasons why English is so hard to learn
English evolves, it is only chauvenistic fools who try to keep a linguistic purity - such as the French or North Waliams.

Any how, when you look at the various infiltrations into the Saxon linga from precursors such as the various varieties of the Celtic and Brython tounges, and Latin, through Norse, French, and "colonial" imports, how much is english english - comprende O.K. ?

It's easier to spell software rather than program(e), and to revive the "Spam" wartime story - its bland, soft, and everybody gets it ! - perfect for electronic junk mail.

Anyway I am bilingual - I speak Swelsh and Sarf Lundun.
