People always ask me why there's so much French in the English language if I hate France so much. It was actually forced on me, really. It certainly wasn't my choice. Here's the story.
It started in 1066 when, as you may know, the Battle of Hastings took place. After that was over, our king was French, so all the nobility was forced to learn French. Yes, including me. We were supposed to talk in French instead of our own language. How ridiculous is that? I would sneak out a lot so I wouldn't have to speak French all the time. I still remember most of it, the way France pounded it into my head. Bloody frog.
Anyway, the commoners would hear us and they would copy us. Made them feel richer. It was rather silly, really. Of course, I was the one forced to speak French.
So, thanks to that, we now have words like 'beef' and 'aubergine' in the English language. And it may be French, but 'aubergine is a much better word than 'eggplant'. Honestly, I'd like to know what America was thinking. I'm sure if i asked him, he'd say something like "America is so free, even a purple vegetable can be called an egg if it wants!" How he manages to be so idiotic I'll never know...
Well, there you have it. France put the French in English. Not me.
