Yes, and ... do you have to be afraid of that ? ;o)
Languages are not dead or frozen things.
They all evolve. They also tend to take words from their fellow ones.
( French purists seem to be frightened when they see English words
invading "their" language, but they don't see how many French
words can be found in English )
And you know, even in a single language, there are dozens of ways
to express an idea, with different words and grammar rules.
For example ( sorry, in French. I'm not good enough in English for that ) :
-"J'aime les confiseries au chocolat plus que les autres."
-"Les sucreries chocolatées sont mes préférées."
-"De toutes les friandises, celles qui sont au cacao incarnent mon péché
mignon."
-"Les bonbons ... miam ! Les bonbons au chocolat ... miam miam !"
-"Mes papilles me le disent, bravant mon désarroi
Au pays Gourmandise, le chocolat est roi"
( => I prefer chocolate sweets )
