How do "they" know for sure that the genesis of an English word is from one language or another? It can't be an exact science. I mean, the Italian forte has the same latin root as the French forte and also means "strong" (rather than the generally held belief that it means "play as loud as you can until your music teacher covers her/his ears and begs you to stop abusing her/his precious piano so").
I often think I couldn't hack life as a mod - Id find it so veery dificilt too rezist squigeling my red teecher pen al ovr peepils' posts.
