Hopefully someone interested will read this comment, since it might be buried at the bottom: there is a fun project called Anglish that works to make the English language free from any non-Germanic loan words, using old(er) English and even made up words inspired by German, Dutch etc when no others exist. It's not, as far as I can see, a militant effort, but more fun and an inspiring linguistic challenge.

- Symbiote 10y agoPerhaps more interesting for a 5-minute distraction is "Uncleftish Beholding", a description of a well-known scientific theory written with no Romance-language words. https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=alt.language.artificial/ZL4e3fD7eW0/_7p8bKwLJWkJ https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=alt.language...
- kwhitefoot 10y agoThanks for reminding me of that. I've read it before but I enjoy it anew every time I see it.
