remove foreign influences from english!

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-17 10:09

There's too many foreign words in English. I propose we remove them forever, kinda like Ataturk did with Turkish, but more thorough. I shall post exclusively using Anglo Saxon words once I get my etymological dictionary from home.

That's easy enough to do. Favoring Anglo-Saxon and Germanic roots over Latin roots, and using Germanic constructs over Latin and Greek ones. It's not possible to fully excise the Romance influence, it successfully requires extensive etymological knowledge, and you sacrifice a great deal of technical vocabulary, but for day-to-day conversation, English has enough synonyms from various sources that you can get by this way. It sounds fairly distinctive, as well.
