Don't Stop Coal Now!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

Ah yes, domestication of loanwords, a phenomenon unique to English-speakers! Tell me you don't actually know any other languages without telling me you don't actually know any other languages.

? I don't think they were implying that English is unique in doing this. "I hate when people mess up English grammar" doesn't imply that I think grammar mistakes only ever happen in English...

They meant the "English is sooooooooo special and unlike any other language because it's three different languages in a trenchcoat and we've stolen all our words from other languages, tee hee hee, that's why it's so difficult to learn and I'm so glad I didn't have to learn it" when every ESL speaker can tell you that this is how all languages develop and that all languages have loanwords and that English is actually one of the easier languages to learn.

...no, I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant. That's an impressive amount of projection you're using.

NC. Jesus, coalie, get a grip. They neither said nor implied anything close to what you're claiming.
