The use of words such as “absolutely”, “basis”, “decade”, etc., is a pain. They are not English words. What is wrong with “twenty years”, rather than “two decades” and “daily”, rather than “on a daily basis”? Much of this language inflation (“puffing up” in English) is coming from the USA.
The fact is that Common English (Engkoine) hardly counts as English at all. Since 1066 the English element in Common English has been steadily eroded (“worn away” in English), so that English, which was probably North Germanic before it came under the influence of West Germanic Saxonish, is now closest to Italian.
There are moves to restore English as our national language (“folkdomly speech”) in the form of New English derived directly from Old English, see David Cowley’s book “How We’d Speak – if the English had won in 1066″. Similarly, Zeaxysch (Saxonish) or New West Saxon is being developed following the lead set by Kernewek (Cornish), drawing on the writing of Medieval scribes and the survivig dialects of Southern England.
