New But, but . . . .
. . English doesn't have anything but foreign words!

Start with some Old North German and mix in a liberal dash of every other language you can get your hands on and you have English.

English is hard to spell because the dictionary was invented righ smack in the middle of a major spelling transition, so it's half of one and half of the other.

Extremely succint. And accurate. I like.

Wade.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
