Also. english is a derivative of the same language as old norse. If you look at old english (like in beowulf) you'll see the similarities. English is technically a germanic language but it got a lot from latin in the last millennium or so, so its barely recognizable today

It is interesting that THE world language of today was so heavily influenced by the world languages of that time (meaning the world wasn't as big as it is today, it was just a lot of Europe for the Europeans)

In the film Amazing Spider-Man 2, he plays Green Goblin, an anti-hero that deserves his own films.

And everything that the English took from (language or otherwise) was also previously taken from somewhere else. Every language and culture is guilty of that. Funny how that works.

Considering that a lot of those words got folded into English because of foreign peoples invading England I'm not sure that calling them stolen is all that accurate.
