You may be over-reading what I meant when I said real (I did use speech marks?). I don't mean any offence, sorry if I caused some.
My point above is that English is made of 2 languages (Old German and Old French) and they have been messily combined and never cleaned up. That's really not true of any other language I am aware of? Most languages come from a root, evolve and exist. Taking 2 and splicing them together is the reason behind it's unusual grammar, illogical spelling and it's low overlap of nouns with other languages.
Saying that English is a mix of old German and old French is an oversimplification and not all that accurate. You might want to do some more reading on the history of the language.
Can I ask where you're from that you use the term "speech marks" instead of quotation marks?
I replied because of how unfounded your claims were. Offended is not the word. Rather, I'm concerned that you're spreading common misconceptions and so I addressed the bulk of your argument with information I had on hand.
