Got this from my friend Jacob, although he mention who it could be attributed to:
“English doesn’t borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.”

I used a modified version of that quote in GQ recently. Right here, in fact.
Odd how the world works, isn’t it?
When I opened this thread, I had a feeling that that was what it would be . . .
Er, sorry, the OP should read that he didn’t attribute who said it.
