Re: To Lightning

As to us using French words in our vocabulary--yes we use many of them as well as many other languages. We are not trying to keep the English language pure as the French do. In fact they have special organizations to keep it pure. We are far more relaxed and use what serves our purpose not to keep a language "pure".

Yes, Lee, and if you've read enough posts around here you'll see that "Purity Ain't Us".

And I don't care what what anybody says, that protester gal sure lights my fire!
