>>22206028
Every language nativizes their borrowed words, English is just high profile and borrowed a lot (but you really have the french to blame for that since they are the ones who invaded england and made it frowned upon to speak or write in old english)

>The children delighted in feeding the friendly burro with carrots at the petting zoo.
