Is English just badly pronounced French?
#5
I was quite surprised to find that Russian has borrowed a lot of technical words from the French, and not from the English, possibly because during the cold war it was more politically correct to borrow fro a relatively friendly nation.

And I understand that Spanish stole our "ordinateur" (just hastily repainted as "ordinatore").
