Suicide Squad: Less interesting than discussing linguistics xD

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Linguistics is cool AF! A lot of people think (I certainly used to) English is a romance language, sharing as much as it does from French. But it is Germanic!

While something like 90% of the dictionary owes itself to French in loan words, 95% of the most commonly used words, and the Grammer by which they're used, belongs to the Germanic language family!

Fun linguistics fact for ya! Now you don't have to play that game.
