it seems to me like the english language purely came about from the total inability of the english to pronounce any words they heard anybody say. They can't even pronounce most of the words of the english language properly! just think, if england had been full of scottish people then vinduaga might well have survived to this day unbastardised. Of course if england had been full of scots, you'd have had a much harder time conquering it!
