Quotes by Tom Larcombe (?)

“You know how English got its vocabulary, right? Luring other languages down dark alleys, mugging them, then rummaging through their pockets for loose grammar and vocabulary. Just because it's from a foreign language, doesn't mean it isn't English also.”
― Tom Larcombe, System End
