Providing resources and support for speakers of different languages can help promote inclusivity and understanding among all citizens.

Why English is a crazy languAGE?

English _IS_ a crazy language. Part of that is because we've adopted so many foreign words into English, so that English is sort of a blend of other languages. That's why we have so many different words that mean the same, or almost the same, thing. Humorist P.J. O'Rourke joked that the English language doesn't just "adopt" words from other languages; English actually chases other languages into dark alleys and mugs them to STEAL their words.


How does the english language influence the spanish language?

One way I know the English language influences the Spanish language, is there are certain words called "cognates". A cognate is a word that looks the same in Spanish than it does in English. For example, the words "perfecto" means "perfect". I'm sure you could have guessed that by looking at the two words, right? That because they are cognates. Another example would be "fantastico" whose meaning is the same as the English word similarly spelled. There are other ways that English influences Spanish, but that's the most obvious way.
