French is essentially a mispronounced version of Latin after a whole bunch of people got really drunk and decided to throw in "x"s, "z"s, apostrophes, accent marks, and silent letters in everywhere.

(That said, English is what happened when Latin and German got married, then had a vicious divorce and proceeded to shuffle the spawn between each other

/French is essentially a mispronounced version of Latin after a whole bunch of people got really drunk and decided to throw in "x"s, "z"s, apostrophes, accent marks, and silent letters in everywhere./

And nasalized consonants and vowels. Don’t forget the nasalized consonants and vowels that often give beginner students of French headaches. You don’t know how long I struggled to correctly pronounce the guttural French r that, unlike the English, Greek, or Spanish r, comes from the back of the throat instead of the front of the mouth.

/That said, English is what happened when Latin and German got married, then had a vicious divorce and proceeded to shuffle the spawn between each other every week while telling the spawn that the other parent was filthy pretentiousness/coarseness and that only their words conveyed any emotional feeling/intelligence at all. And then the troubled adolescent language slept around with every language that would give it the time of day, and the rest is history./

Ha, pretty accurate and funny. XD

English is not! Don't you know your classic quotes? English is the language that lurks in dark alleys and beats up other languages, then goes through their pockets for loose vocabulary! :-P

Well... that obviously happened after its troubled youth. Cycle of abuse and all that. >_>
(Don't worry, I knew that quote. I just wanted to try a slightly different description. :-) )

[laughs] Fair enough.
