I don’t even consider “sites” that only work on mobile apps to be “the internet”

English had already borrowed a ton of words from the continent by then, mainly due to the Norman conquest in 1066. The official state language of England was actually a dialect of French for awhile. English writers argued throughout the 15th and 16th centuries about the need for borrowed words, some pointing out that English already had equivalent words in many cases.


Which brings us to Anglish, a modern purist English vocabulary that shuns borrowed words. If a native equivalent doesn't exist, it's compounded from native word forms.
