Then what does that say about English? 

Because about 40% of English is either based-upon
or borrowed directly from French.

My point was that saying that simply because 40% of English is drawn from French says nothing about that quality of the language, which was the seeming implication of the question, given the context of the conversation between you and WoG.

All languages borrow words. You can't infer quality from that fact alone.

I agree with you.  I was responding to WoG's attack on French.
