Re: EX_TURPI
I did not intend to proclaim the language superior to any other in any sense, but it did make it possible for me to realize how language comes about and how words from different languages that have similar meanings have slightly different nuances since it is still relatively speaking in its infancy. English is much the same, not only in also being a Germanic derivative with Latin and other language influences, but that it is also a fairly young language and a composite of various languages and cultures from which it arose as an independent natural language which was easier for me to take cognisance of than it seems to be for some anglophiles who seem to think their language fell out of heaven in one go as a complete and superior communication medium.

Thanks for the education. Now I know why I do not respond to Afrikaans.
