This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I know you ioke but French (or a common root language) shaped so much of what the English language is today it wouldn't surprise me if French influence is why we have that in English as well

It's both. The Romans and later Christianity brought Latin influences, then the Normans brought French influences.
