Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
You claim to be egalitarian, and yet you reject a language that's the hellspawn of half a dozen European dialects. Curious.
two, English is a Creole of just two languages, old German, and pre-standardization French
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Hungarian_origin
the existence of loan words from other languages does not change the fact that English is a Creole of old German and pre-standardization French
the list of "English words of German/French origin" would comprise the effective entirety of the language, and that's ignoring the grammar and sentence structure
