I hear stuff on a regular basis that I seldom heard in the Navy, unless
one was really peeved.
English is such a vast and wonderful language with so many native and
adopted words.
We have so many words that mean the same thing.
Such as "goodbye". We have that along with so long, later, etc. Many
languages have only one word for something.
Then you have languages like French who want to use only French words,
nothing adopted or imported, etc.
There are some who want the language to remain static and unchanging.
But language will always change. We don't speak the same as
Shakespeare's time. And I imagine in 500 years modern English will sound just
as
quaint.
BTW, don't recognise you.
Welcome to Memories.
