    Why ish ( update )

    i always wanted to know why we speak English. The Italians speak Italian and there is no ish on the end of the word . The Spanish speak Spanish but the Russians speak Russian and again no ish on the end of the word. Dog gone Canada is next to us and they speak English but are called Canadians sometimes french Canadians and speak french not Frenchish. I hope I'm not wasting your time but the English language is weird. In closing why is awesome good and awefull bad? I mean if your full of awe isn't that better. UPDATE ish is appended to roots denoting names of nations or regions Old English-isc, cognate with German and Dutch-isch, Latin-icus,isce and ice,Greek-ikos, Slavik- ic, ich. the next time you use ish be sure you know how to use it.I not so dumb now huh

    very true Nick. You just confirmed why it so hard for some farm workers from Mexico to learn engl-ish. We are not all scholars and i am the 1st to admit my proper english is not up to par.
