    Sure, there’s plenty of French in English, but there’s an English equivalent for most French words. We’d be fine eating cow instead of beef or pig instead of pork. It may sound a little strange but English should still be very usable if we removed the French root words.

        That’s just Frisian with extra steps.

        Don’t show this to the sovereign citizens. They’ll start declaring that any government document with borrowed words from a foreign language means you can’t be court-martialed twice for the same offense due to habeas corpus.
