Borrowing From Other Languages

"'A friend was on an Aeroflot flight crossing Russia when the woman next to him sneezed. He said 'Gesundheit!' She said: 'Thank goodness, someone who speaks English.'"
Peter Spencer; Column 8; The Sydney Morning Herald (Australia); Jul 23, 2011.
I loved this! There is so much truth in humor. There are so many words in the English speaking world that have been taken from other languages and claimed them as our own. These foreign words have enriched our communication and conversations.
