Proof or it did not happen!
Now we will measure it, so as to see who has it bigger :grin:.
And apart from that, what is English without German, French, Greek and other words that has internally, possibly, from other languages? Is [she = the language] able to express complex ideas on its own (I mean with actual English words, not those that it has borrowed from the other languages)? And above all, how can you say that English can be a language on its own, when it has so many words from the others? Someone can claim that it is not a language, but a mishmash, a combo, of other languages, with the English part being the larger one.
For example why you use phenomenon/a? Do you have a synonym for it (with the exact meaning)? Why equilibrium/a? This are basic words, yet you have borrowed them from Greek and Latin.
Please, elaborate in great detail and praise the Greek language as the most important of all, in the past, now, and for the years to come.
