cobra	What does 'English' mean? (75* d)	RE: What does 'English' mean?	17 Dec 07
I am English is the shorthand used by some of the modern day inhabitants of the country known as England and these people are unclear that the pure and unadulterated island race they believe themselves to be is in fact a hybrid of several thousand years of interbreeding with a succession of invaders and immigrants .... so to be English is in fact to be a descendant from any/ all of the following - Angle Jute Pict Celt Hun Norman Saxon Roman Viking and latterly Polish Romanian Indo-Chinese Arabic African Afro-Caribbean etc etc etc English is also a descriptor for an anal obsessiveness with punctuation which is for fules as punctuation is dead in the modern world
