Will I improve as an English language writer if I replace all words of germanic origin with their french-origin counterparts?
>>
its exactly the other way around bud.
For every latin/greek root word you are accustomed to using (like "accustom") you must find the germanic one. It's 10x higher IQ. Just read Novalis in German once and you'll see.

What's the Saxon equivalent of "accustom", then?
>>
>>25391254
>equivalent
I don't understand this word.
>>
>>25391254
Probably "wont".
>>
>>25391254
Used to, of course.
>>
>>25391260
Use is from latin

French words are stuffy and ungainly. Write Germanic to shoot straight.

abysmally low IQ take, beauty is hidden in french language
>>
>>25391422
Thats one thing that sets me apart from everyone else here, I just can't bring myself to learn French.

American or spic hands typed this post

>>25391438
Why write rip-off French when French yet stands?
>>
>>25391450
Moi personnellement ça ne me pose aucun problème je parle couramment cette langue mais pour les attardés dans ton genre qui ne maîtrisent déjà pas correctement la langue de leur chienne de mère ce n'est pas vraiment une solution

>>25391465
I have no clue why you're seething so hard.

Can you send me a screenshot of your Google translate ? I don't think it's allowed to translate the sentence properly
