“It is critical to our union that we only have one dominant language - English.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, The Pursuit of Happiness: A Book of Poems

“All Indo-European languages have the capacity to form compounds. Indeed, German and Dutch do it, one might say, to excess. But English does it more neatly than most other languages, eschewing the choking word chains that bedevil other Germanic languages and employing the nifty refinement of making the elements reversible, so that we can distinguish between a houseboat and a boathouse, between basketwork and a workbasket, between a casebook and a bookcase. Other languages lack this facility.”
― Bill Bryson, The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way

“I am nothing if not misanthropic," declared Sebastian.
"I think you mean philanthropic," said Henry.
"God, you are so perdantic."
"That would be pedantic."
"See! You're even perdantic about the word perdantic.”
― Kevin Ansbro, The Fish That Climbed a Tree

“Why is English so widespread today, and not Danish?”

“If you have a mind to understand the English comedy, the only way to do this will be for you to go to England, to spend three years in London, to make yourself master of the English tongue, and to frequent the playhouse every night.”
― Voltaire, Letters on England

“Language is art, language is imagery, music, rhythm, thought, responsibility and communication. With the extensive English vocabulary available to us, an abundance of words allow for precision of depiction - well almost”

“One of the undoubted virtues of English is that it is a fluid and democratic language in which meanings shift and change in response to the pressures of common usage rather than the dictates of committees. It is a natural process that has been going on for centuries. To interfere with that process is arguably both arrogant and futile, since clearly the weight of usage will push new meanings into currency no matter how many authorities hurl themselves into the path of change.”
― Bill Bryson, The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way

“Is It True?
English is a really a form of Plattdeutsch or Lowland German, the way it was spoken during the 5th century. It all happened when Germanic invaders crossed the English Channel and the North Sea from northwest Germany, Denmark and Scandinavia to what is now Scotland or Anglo Saxon better identified as Anglo-Celtic. English was also influenced by the conquering Normans who came from what is now France and whose language was Old Norman, which became Anglo-Norman.
Christianity solidified the English language, when the King James Version of the Bible was repetitively transcribed by diligent Catholic monks. Old English was very complex, where nouns had three genders with der, die and das denoting the male, female and neuter genders. Oh yes, it also had strong and weak verbs, little understood and most often ignored by the masses.
In Germany these grammatical rules survive to this day, whereas in Britain the rules became simplified and der, die and das became da, later refined to the article the! It is interesting where our words came from, many of which can be traced to their early roots. 鈥淗istory鈥� started out as his story and when a 鈥淏rontosaurus Steak鈥� was offered to a cave man, he uttered me eat! Which has now become meat and of course, when our cave man ventured to the beach and asked his friend if he saw any food, the friend replied 鈥渕e see food,鈥� referring to the multitude of fish or seafood! Most English swear words, which 老虎机稳赢方法 will definitely not allow me to write, are also of early Anglo-Saxon origin. Either way they obeyed their king to multiply and had a fling, with the result being that we now have 7.6 Billion people on Earth.”

“If English is here to stay, the least we Indians can do is to promote Hinglish. The best of two languages will make Hinglish user-friendly.”
― Tapan Ghosh

“India, where English is a medium to 'Impress' not 'Express'...”
― Nitya Prakash

“Some people contend that the English language is a living, breathing organism wherein the definitions of words and rules should change to reflect their mass misuse. I contend that English is already an extraordinarily difficult language to teach. Monkeying with English to legitimize common errors would not make the language easier to learn and love. English should not stoop to embrace the lowest common denominator. Rather, society should step up and grant the language the respect it deserves.”
― Terry Fallis, The Best Laid Plans

“German is for learning while English is for entertainment only.”
― Laura Chouette

“One cannot successfully express their ideas without having solid vocabulary skills.”

“Even worse was [singing] in English, a language much too lacking in chewability for hard Finnish jaws, so sloppy that only little girls could get top marks in it - sluggish double Dutch, tremulous and damp, invented by mud-sloshing coastal beings who've never needed to struggle, never frozen nor starved. A language for idlers, grass-eaters, couch potatoes, so lacking in resilience that their tongues slop around their mouths like sliced-off foreskins.”
― Mikael Niemi, Popular Music from Vittula

“English is about remembering, not about acknowledging.”

“You must know in what way you are going to use the morphology and syntax to build your 'how”
― Frederick Vanderbuilt

“How are you going do your writings? How can the others understand you through words describing places, sensations, thoughts, feelings, hope, love, separations on a maze of phrases and paragraphs cemented with your ability to 'knit' your story? Maybe, 'how' is more relevant to provide for your readers a consistent path to build a story from the beginning to the end than 'what' and 'why'. Of course, you are not going to dismiss them. These ones 鈥� 'what' and 'why' 鈥�, they are pretty damn good too.”
― Frederick Vanderbuilt

“Hawaiian English is like kahiko, the ancient dance, the kanaka dance of tradition, she says, harsh moves, slaps, and full of pounding force.”
― Garrett Hongo, Volcano: A Memoir of Hawai'i

“Profesora Shields explained that in English there was no usted, no tu. There was only one word鈥攜ou. It applied to all people. Everyone equal. No one higher or lower than anyone else. No one more distant or more familiar. You. They. Me. I. Us. We. There were no words that changed from feminine to masculine and back again depending on the speaker. A person was from New York. Not a woman from New York, not a man from New York. Simply a person.”
― Cristina Henriquez, The Book of Unknown Americans

“Let our voices be heard in all of our lunges. Not just English. I am an American and I speak Spanish and English.”

“When we teach English, the use of a language is a better identification (sometimes) than the one in your wallet. How we use the language, our words choice - tells people who we are, and what we think, and what we feel about them...Literature is the hallmark of history...”

“The goal of American English speakers appears to be to rob the mother tongue of direct meaning and replace it with needlessly-complex jargon.”
― Stewart Stafford

“The English language is somewhat 鈥楪LOBAL鈥� or widespread because it has reached many nations but it is not truly an 鈥業NTERNATIONAL鈥� language! Actually, it will be international when all the countries accept it or if the words from all the existing languages are added to it or if an entirely new language is created with the presence of words, grammar etc. from all the current languages in the world!”
― Md. Ziaul Haque

“In America, they use exclamation marks to make everything terrific, in France to make everything terrible, but here in England we don't use them at all.”

“English is not logical, it鈥檚 expressive.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Once upon a time, a human belittled another human who spoke broken English, until the first human discovered English was the second human's third or fourth language, and then the first human felt rather stupid and decided to shut the f*** up.”
― Stewart Lee Beck

“Bret Easton Ellis, taking on the narrative garb of a mass murderer in American Psycho, was, surprisingly, never himself a mass murderer (at least according to a lot of people鈥揑 won鈥檛 comment on what he sometimes does to an English sentence).”

“I found our speech copious without order, and energetick without rules: wherever I turned my view, there was perplexity to be disentangled, and confusion to be regulated.”
