    English has borrowed words from many languages. I have a dictionary titled- 'origin of words'. This gives origin of english words from Greek, Latin, French, Chinese etc. This also includes history of English- Old English, mid English and modern English.

    I think we should follow Queen's English and Oxford dictionary which is standard of the language.


    Yes please, i agree with you. The charm of Queen's English is altogether a different proposition
