England, being a trading and maritime nation above all else is massively 
comprised of 'foreign' words.

And Celtic constructs, and all and all?


And importation of Dutch typesetters who knew little English, made 
spelling in the first 'bookes' a bit suspect.

Also they lisped as much as the Spanish back in the day and ff was 
equated to 'ss'

Fucking mongrel language, but ubiquitous.
