[edit] Favorite quotes

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.

– James D. Nicoll, rec.arts.sf-lovers, 15 May 1990
