yup you don't see them that way often in English that's why I asked if it was Gaelic. XD Though that's the Shortened Saxonised form of it. The saying was longer than that. I forget exactly what though. *bad student ish bad*

Hehe my dad always used to talk about Scotland and Ireland. Since His clan was from both.

Ah, so you have not so distant relatives from there. I believe somewhere in my past we have some blood relations there but i am not sure.

Jeannesha 03-18-2013 08:59 PM

I wish I knew more languages.

English is made up of so many different languages...

dessertdesiert 03-18-2013 09:00 PM

i thought it was latin based...

Jeannesha 03-18-2013 09:01 PM

Maybe Latin based, but we have so many different words that came from other languages. Greek, German, Spanish, etc...

dessertdesiert 03-18-2013 09:01 PM

Yes, that's very true, where did our sentence structure come from?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the english language's structure and early influences came from local germanic and saxon dialects (old english?) and influenced by latin and old norse. That's where the "structure" of the language comes from. But proper spelling and proper struction is quite new, the rules are quite new.

Interesting. I don't know anything about language so I will just believe what you say.
