"English has pursued other languages..."

In Other Words...
 A feature wherein TileHead presents a quote that is interesting, informative, inspiring, or humorous:
The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that... we don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle through their pockets for new vocabulary.
– James Nicoll (1961- )
