Not whole, because I can and do use the word "mamacita". (Not to mention that the above seems to presume that "English" was something that sprang whole and unsullied, possibly from the earth itself) |
All I said was that the language you speak, English, comes from England. This is true! You can look it up! |

Actually, you said "your whole fucking language", which isn't true! I've looked it up!
Yes, Standard American English is, as the name denotes, an English-based language; however, it has numerous aspects that separate it from Standard British English, hence the fact that they have two different technical names. The problem here was the word "whole", which doesn't account for the various lexical, syntactic and semantic changes that SAE has undergone in the last 200 years or so. Which means that the language that I speak does not, in fact, entirely come from England.
Your mistake was saying something broadly generalized to a pedantic linguist! |

I just finished a semester that was full of these. Apparently, they are all moths to the Old Church Slavic flame. And they were grad students. And it got really old really fast.
Edit: I am ashamed of that metaphor. It is boring and probably stupid.

Oh, you.
For argument's sake, though, the guy (a man named Schmalsteig) who wrote our textbook likes it better my way. On the other hand, the textbook was phenomenally ugly, and therefore not necessarily trustworthy.

| Yeah, I just couldn't resist. The majority of people seem to use Slavonic instead with Slavic being a sub-heading along with some other languages or at least that's what I've run into in all of my experience with Historical Linguistics. |
