This change in the language is inevitable. For better or worse, this is how history treats languages.

This is why so many words in English are French in origin and have the same or smilar meaning as a word from Anglo-Saxon . [eg. Prison (French) and Jail (A/S).]

Not saying its good, just syaing it will come to pass.

"This change in the language is inevitable. For better or worse, this is how history treats languages."

Yeah, verily and forsooth! However, American English (and to a lesser extent British English) are pretty "open-armed" about adopting new words/phrases from other languages and cultures. This is in MAJOR contrast to other languages/nationalities who spend major time worrying about "linguistic purity" and fighting the (as you say) inevitable.
