“English is the largest of human tongues, with several times the vocabulary of the second largest language -- this alone made it inevitable that English would eventually become, as it did, the lingua franca of this planet, for it is thereby the richest and most flexible -- despite its barbaric accretions . . . or, I should say, because of its barbaric accretions. English swallows up anything that comes its way, makes English out of it.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

English swallows up anything that comes its way, makes English out of it.

Sort of like the Cy-Bug monsters in the "Wreck-It Ralph" cartoon.
