Well, either that, or destroy the language.

English is by far the best language in the world. No other language is as precise, diverse and inclusive. I'm not aware of other languages officially recognizing English words as part of their language. Many other languages rely heavily on nuance (see Mandarin Chinese). You can have nuance in English, but you can refine that nuance very precisely should need be.
