It has begun... Very badly mind you. But give them time.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

"The University of Maastricht in the Netherlands is awarding a doctorate to a researcher who wrote a paper on marriages between humans and robots."

Sure that was a Doctorate and not a B.S.?

This makes my idea for a Masters Thesis look plausible.  Concerning games that children play cross-culturally that have no basis or representation in their home culture.

Drop your weapon, you have twenty seconds to comply.

You now have fifteen seconds to comply.

How about, "cool."

Interesting. Not sure I'd trust something with an operating system and heavy calibre armament, but intriguing all the same.

Honestly its more likely to just stop whatever its doing than go on a killing spree.
