Burn Bad Catholics?

Of course we're not going to be burning Catholics. This is just an eye-catching headline and subject which was touched upon during the lecture today.

Today's lecture was an entertaining one, with Chris Horrie's menacing opinions pushing the boundaries once more. One of his arguments which was hot topic during the lecture was the "American language". This got me thinking...

Being rather lazy i decided to check the pages of the "reliable" and trusting Wikipedia. As usual Wikpedia provided me with the answer i wanted and said, "English is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian and Lower Saxon dialects".

I can see where Chris is coming from by him saying that the English language is actually the American language due to the fact that people learn it because the Americans use it but it would be more accurate to say that the English language originated from Germany not America!
