English has not been in its final form forever, therefore there was a language or languages that preceded it. English words derive from one of these previous languages. Since a word from another language cannot be an English word, English does in fact not have any English words except ones that sprang arbitrarily out of nowhere.
- technothrasher 1y ago> English words derive from one of these previous languages. Since a word from another language cannot be an English word [...] You sabotage your own argument with these two sentences.
- bigDinosaur 1y agoI genuinely am shocked that someone could read what I wrote and think I was serious. Poe's law strikes again.
- thoroughburro 1y ago> Since a word from another language cannot be an English word This is false, so your argument is also false.
- bigDinosaur 1y agoAs per my other reply, I'm genuinely shocked that you took my comment to be serious. It's basically as satirical one can get of the position that a word cannot be a word in multiple languages. Poe's law and all that I suppose.
