Hi there. How are you doing?

Hail. No so bad.

>>2408619
I thought this was going to come up. Well: Speak English with only Dutch words.
>>
It's called Anglish. Look it up.
>>
The firststuffs have their being as motes called unclefts. These are mighty small: one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called bulkbits. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in chills when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike unclefts link in a bulkbit, they make bindings. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.

I know. Hearing of Anglish was what lead me to open this talk: http://anglish.wikia.com/wiki/Main_leaf

Though I had known of the problem with outland words since reading Orwell's "Politics and the English Language".

>in this talk
Sounds already very retarded
>>
>>2408608
It's hard.
>>
>>2408644
why not merely say thread
>>
>>2408608

Why are all smart sounding words not from the Anglo tongue?

Speaking Anglo without any French words sounds like ogre-speak.

Anglo Saxons were barbarian raiders, their language simply reflects that.

>>2409410

Germanic guttural noises from an inferior culture and people

Germanics were a mistake

>ywn cleanse anglish of filthy latin oversway
>>
>>2408619
Germanic =/= German/Deutsch
>>
The truth that this can be done so likewise easily should shut the trap of those fools who claim English is not a Germanic tongue.

Try doing the same thing using NO Germanic words instead.

>>2409523

Make a comprehensible sentence in English using no Germanic words. I'll wait.
>>
>>2409536

Homosexuality includes anal sex

Personally, I do not mind the French-derived lexicon in English. I think most of those words sound natural enough. It is the great mass of direct Latin and Greek loanwords post-1500 that really bothers me.

So you accept that you can't meet the challenge but rather than simply admit this, you decided to be a coon. Good for you!

I accept your utterly graceless admission of defeat.
>>
>>2409571
You're the fool
All these sentences
>>2409555
>>2409561
>>2409566
are perfectly correct
>>
>>2409561
Fucking kek

holy shit snow niggers are truly nothing without glorious Latins
thankfully the only relevant Germanic language was civilized by based Pierre
>>
I fucked both your sister and your mother in the pussy, butthole, and came down both of their throats
>>
>>2409556
It has a subject and predicate, what are you on about?
>>
What if you allowed Roman Latin vocabulary, but no French?
>>
>>2408608
Anglish just doesn't sound right anon
>>
>>2409779
There's literally no vocabulary dating back from the Roman Empire in English
Remember that Rome never ruled over the Anglo-Saxons

Most of the commonly used Romance vocabulary comes from French, and words that come directly from Latin (anus, forum, calculus...etc) are mostly technical terms that entered English when Latin was the European lingua franca in the Middle Age
