Yeah, except that English takes into itself quite a few
foreign words and adopts them for its own nefarious purposes.
At what point does a borrowed foreign word acquire native
rights?

(Unlike French, of course, which refuses to acknowledge that
foreign words can be just as good as its own verbiage. . . )
