Ericmurphy,
Um, I could make as good of an argument that English is a mix of germanic and french as I can that Portuguese is not what Davey-dumbo says it is. Typically, the history of a language is classified by the surviving writing. After William, most writing (that was'nt in Latin) from England, was in French for a longish period. I believe that the first written government document that showed a hybridization was around 1300. That's a lot of french.
Arden?
Uh-Oh. Dave, It looks like you have me over a barrel here. Just don't be too mean in what you write in your post if I lose, OK?
