The RN has a long and not terribly honourable record of having its warships driven onto the putty by junior OOWs who either aren't any good at this pilotage lark or have simply been given too many things to do on top of navigating.'... English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't
just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages
down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for
new vocabulary.' - James Davis Nicoll
