HELLO David, Paul, Mark and Ron. What an interesting discourse about the
influence of Celtic languages on the English of their time, especially since
I happen to be reading:

John McWhorter’s “Our magnificent Bastard Tongue”. Maybe not in depth enough
for you linguists, but for this neophyte a wonderful read.
