The English language is an adorable old dog that has sired a litter of lovable mongrel bastards. An original Anglo-Saxon pedigree – with more than a touch of Celtic – crossed with Latin, Greek, Old Norse, and Norman, by-blowed with souvenir stains from our colonial, imperial, mercantile, war-mongering, Internet heritage. Honestly, there’s no other language like it… and you would not believe how many Englishes there are.
