That makes sense. Having the everyday words come from the Germanic roots, because that was the language of the Anglo-Saxons. Then the language of the ruling class was French.

I love telling anti-grain evangelists I eat pasta or rice almost every day of my life and watching their brain circuitry explode. I’m having fresh pasta with a fabulous parsley and almond pesto I made last night, with some green breans, for dinner.

So at this point, four people from Hunt For The Wilderpeople have been in Marvel movies. This delights. me.

Reggie, it your time.

There currently is a Redwall video game in the works: http://store.steampowered.com/app/656030/An_Epic_Tale_of_Redwall__The_Scout/
