You think you hate yourself..........

Seeing as English isn't so much of an orginal language but rather a germanic derivitive one could argue that no word in the english language is of it's origin with the exception of may be bootylicious. (Is now included in the Oxford Dictionary)

Even the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding pokes fun at this tid bit by stating that everything is of Greek Origin... So perhaps because the english language is a convaluted mixture of words and sayings, the rules that exist to help teach us to read & write in grade school are a mere rule of thumb as each word comes from a different time & place and therefore, there are many exceptions to these rules as stated in the previous blog entry....

So what we are essentially arguing here, is what is considered to be part of the english language & what isn't. What is considered to be the authority on the English Language. If a word is used in everyday speech, is it to be considered to be part of the english language? The word daisy for example is a derivitive from Latin and (k.. i can't remember how it was spelled correctly) was pronounced Deh-a-say... Now because it has shifted & taken an identity of it's own, it can be considered English... Which is why you argue words such as Lei are not English. However, when I string some flowers together into a necklace & wear it as such, I do not have any other word for that as I do not walk around saying... Hey look I just got "a flower necklace" no, I like to be the ass clown that I am & say Hey, look, I just got Lei'd as THAT is what it is, a lei...

I now believe I have eclipsed all entries as a waste of time w/ my argument about the english language & I must be stopped as I actually started yesterday's blog after hearing it on a radio commercial & thought I'd try & take it one step further by thinking of as many words as I could at 7:30 in the morning (which doesn't work)

Now Klingon... THERE'S A LANGUAGE.. can you believe I got a Klingon dictionary in my stocking one year.. WTF? I think my family hates me... Tomorrow's entry: My worst Christmas Gifts......
