Reply to comment by Nexus_produces in If SpaceX is the only company to land on mars for years, can they lay claim to the land? by --Lavish--

English is my first, and only language. I speak a miniscule amount of German, but not enough to claim it. Even less French, Spanish and Italian.

But I enjoy words. I have a bit of a natural ear for etymology... I've been accused of being a wordsmith, but I'm really just a dumb redneck.

Yeah I enjoy language immensely, I am fortunate enough to have a knack for it and I become very engaged when people use out of the ordinary vocabulary due to so many years of vocabulary acquisition. It's kind of funny for me when I hear latin words in english speech because they are pretty much regular words I use in my own language or something very close.
