    As island-based languages go English

    How is english ‘island-based’ if it came from the continent and now is hardly confined to an island?

      Yeah for sure. Based on how conversation had been going I was accepting ‘english’ to mean english after 1066 as I was guessing what ‘neglected toddler’ might mean.

      I hear that it was possibly hunnic expansion that drove angles west to britain, which is pretty cool.
