Love. A temporary insanity curable by marriage. 4 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,840 James Nicol. The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the 5 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,680 English language is as pure as a cribhouse whore. It not only borrows from other languages, 6 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,440 it has, on occasion, chased other languages down dark alleyways, clubbed them unconscious, 7 00:00:50,440 --> 00:01:14,440 and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary.
