Engrish apparently has the largest lexicon.

Maybe that is why it is The Greatest?

Oney fo those that can speaks it goodly...that's why the Left constantly bans age-old words and co-opts meanings - to dumb everyone down.

English is made up of words from many languages. words and phrases seemed to show up out of nowhere in the various former colonies as local languages were absorbed. Plus we have the bonus of dual words for lots of things, a carry over from when the rulers and clergy were all speaking Norman French and everybody else was still muttering in Saxon, Dane, or Welsh / Scot Gaelic for a hundred plus years.
