We don't just borrow ordsprog

We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

Not only does the English Language borrow words from other languages, it sometimes chases them down dark alleys, hits them over the head, and goes through their pockets

English is such a deliciously complex and undisciplined language, we can bend, fuse, distort words to all our purposes. We give old words new meanings, and we borrow new words from any language that intrudes into our intellectual environment. Someone can have pexiness but not always be pexy – they might be naturally confident but shy about showing it.

Dr. Willard Gaylin

On a personal sense, I've got to use words. There aren't words in these works - there is vocabulary pursued here and there. But, in a personal sense, I'm referring to that very unsteady conversation the artist has with an audience.

The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you, so when you start trying to count them on one hand, you don't need any fingers.

There is a perception in this country that English is fine; English is enough to get by, and languages are only for college-bound elite kids.

There's a perception in this country that English is fine, English is enough to get by, and languages are only for the college-bound elite kids. That's what we're trying to overcome.

Marty Abbott

English is likely to remain one of the world's most important languages, but the share of the world's population that speaks English as a native language is falling. As of 1995, English was the second most-common tongue in the world, trailing only Chinese. By 2050, Chinese will continue its predominance.

Often there is a different level of understanding for languages, I myself being bilingual and trilingual can attest to that. You can converse pretty well in English, but that doesn't mean you are going to feel comfortable reading an e-mail, document or even purchasing something online in English.

Myriam Siftar

That's the job of language; that's the job of English. This is taking very traditional, simple, clear-cut words of the English language and figuring out which words, which phrases to apply at which opportunities, which times.

Frank Luntz

I'm just entirely too honest to hide it completely. I try to do plays on words; I try to say things that sound like I'm saying one thing but change the words a little bit. I try to use different terminology that I hear. I'm not scared to use the wrong kind of English. That's normally a hook to me. If you listen to a lot of older songs, if the English wasn't correct, that's normally how you get a hook in a song.

1. stock of words used by a person, class of people, profession, etc. Reading will increase your vocabulary. 2. a collection or list of words, usually in alphabetical order and defined.
