I think it's funny America has forgotten what France did for it 230 years ago when it saved it from the British.


Exactly.

Also one of the icons of America, The Statue of Liberty, was a gift from France.

We named everything French this and French that for ages. From food items to sex items.

Don't let me bring up the celebration of Mardi Gras.

And don't REALLY let me bring up the lesser-thought-of fact that the English language was shaped strongly by French words. The wayward basic hybrid of German and Latin called English influenced heavily by one of Latin's pidgin tongues, French.

Check every word I said and discover the inherent Frenchness of those words. Clues in the just preceding statement are "check" "discover" "inherent".

Mardi Gras wasn't named after the French.  It was started by Cajun French.

If English so closely resembles French, why is it still classified as a "Germanic" language and not a "Romantic"?

That's the thing, you can look up words that are close to French, but you can do the same for German:

House - Hause

Attention - Achtung

Wonderful - Wunderbar

Drink - Trink

Who - Wo

Where - Wer

Although, the last two examples are mixed-up in that "Wo" really means where, and "Wer" really means who, but time will do that.

Even words such as "Photosynthesis", "Resurrection", and "Telephone" have Latin and Greek roots.

Bottom Line: The English language is best described as a "soup" that contains many "ingredients"

@ rocketpig -
both of my grandpa's served In WW2 and they deserve the right for people to be grateful. My great Uncle even died for the freedom of other countries. You should be very grateful that these american men and women served for your freedom.

It comes down to this, would you of won the war without the USA? No so you owe them a thankyou. We even loaned huge amounts of money for you to rebuild back europe. The Berlin airlift for example.

As for the American Revolution. No one is still alive. France helped us out huge and I bet most Americans dont realize we got the Statue of Liberty from the French. We should all know that and relize wat they did.

@ mummelmann -

Using the current War on terrorism to say we dont need to remember wat america did for us is pathetic. I am thankful for you buddies help tho and there service is appreciated and I am gratful for their help.

I understand where you are coming from but I refuse to live on the back of my grandfather's glory.
