I too. The intertwined language of socialism, Freudianism, egalitarianism, logical positivism and the rest have invaded the New World for more than a century, pushing aside the words and understandings of the American Revolution. This flood of phony European words and ideas confuses our own thinking. It must be undone, or America the free certainly shall be.

Maybe yours.  I personally
can't think of words to replace
rendezvous, zugzwang, gestalt,
without paragraphs of exposition.
And you do know the derivation
of Capitol, right?

Oh, don't get me started on
laissez-faire, ya'll.
