As if languages havent always borrowed from other languages... Think of all the Latinate words in English--many arriving from France with the Norman Conquest of 1066 but plenty of others finding their way in in subsequent centuries... Its all very reminiscent of the French Academys battle against the popular adoption of foreign words a decade of two ago (le week-end comes immediately to mind, for example).
