English is an agglomerate language. As well as a basic romance grammar mostly descended from Latin, mixed with a Germanic and French vocabulary, English takes things from every other language it meets. One result of this is English has many words for the same thing, but many of these words mean quite different things. What is the difference between under and beneath? Look, see, and watch? In, at, and on?Introductory offer - the first time you contact me, for only USD5 I will answer three questions on the use of English including grammar, vocabulary, semantics and figurative language.
