Displacing America: A New Chinese Empire
Chinese language is different from English in that English accepts new word coinage like "a randy dog."
That's a new one. Here's a famous one: "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
English, possibly a language of individuality. It unites as much as it divides.
