Oh please! I joined this when the servers were down. I love to be a troll. I
do it all the time on Groklaw, and paraphrased my wikipedia profile there.
Generally I am more comfortable lurking on this list, and I would hope that
most of us are experienced enough to understand that any discussion of
English, its dialects and origins, stands a very good chance of
disintegrating the way this has. Please let's try to be edifying.

English a germanic language? Impossible! An
absurd notion! Lunacy!
Exaggeration! Unadulterated opinionated insanity!
Essentially misdirected
ill conceived viewpoints. Troublesome tempestuous tapestries. As tasteless
as a tarty tarantella. Significantly senseless. Quintessentially unquotable.
Positively preposterous. Necessarily nonplussed and nominally abnormal.
Exponentially and exceedingly uneventful. Undeveloped, uncorroborated,
irresponsible, and finally, bountifully morally bankrupt. I opine that I
have proven my point.
