RE: Wanted: Opinions on a grammar book

["Sandi Castle" <sandi -at- siberlogic -dot- com>]

"In fact, quite a lot of our most commonly-used words are of Germanic
origin.  It's rather interestingly the case that where there are
Germanic-derived and Latinate-derived words that mean the same thing,
using the Latinate version is seen as more 'educated'."

Or, possibly, more cooked...

Cow/Kuh (German)
Beef/boeuf (French)

Sheep/Schaf
Mutton/mouton

Pig (OK swine then)/Schwein
Pork/porc

Cheers, 
Sandi
