      Go ahead and list some real “English words” then. Try to form any kind of coherent conversation. A language is defined by the people who speak it; it grows and adapts and doesn’t fit into your neat boxes.

      If you’re getting pedantic about what words came from where, we’re just speaking Proto-Indo-European (and all but ~12 root languages don’t exist). But you’re not arguing that, you’re just saying nonsense.
