Latin?

Have you ever noticed how people like to use different languages to make normal words sound more interesting? Forgive me for the hypocritical question and allow me to explain. I was thinking about a title for a piece of writing I was starting when I realized that almost nothing I have ever written ha a normal English title. Why is that?

Why is it that we are all so fascinated by other languages when our own is such a popular language in all the other countries? Is it merely a case of the grass being greener on the other side or is there some sort of psychological trait in people that makes them forgo their own native language for other languages? Have we cheapened the use of the words in our language so much that in order to properly express ourselves we must pick words from other languages?

Discuss amongst yourselves and let me know what you think.

Ab Verbo

From the word. Words have often been used to empower or weaken. To create and destroy. To uphold and tear down. To encourage and to dishearten. I question why people should be allowed to use words so flippantly when they themsleves are so ignorant of the effects of the words the used. An ill timed word can bring much harm to one or many. Should we really allow people to continue to rape the meaning from words? Shall we sit idly by as the language we speak is debauched on a daily basis? The inevitable answer is, yes. We shall al stand by and watch as others from different areas of the continent speak with words not fully thought through. We will daily be assaulted by their linguistical ineptitude and pass them by as though nothing was wrong with them. That is the fate you have chosen.
