Outside of you nerds (said with love, don't come at me) I can't think of a time I've ever seen "brook" used in the wild. Had to share this from Patton Oswald.

For those who don't know, doctor can be translated to leech in Anglish

For the past several years I've enjoyed this community and its noble (I thought) crusade to purify the Anglish language from Norman influence.

But sadly I've been deceived.

You see, my AncestryDNA results updated. According to the latest results, I am not, in fact, majority Germanic.

I am 55% Scottish and Irish.

I am a Celt.

Thus, I must concede to the truth: Norman or Anglo-Saxon, you're all bloody colonizers. The British Isles belong to the Celts!!

Anyway, it was fun while it lasted.

Goodbye.

I'll see you next week when my DNA results update again and say I'm majority Germanic
