We have so much french in this language. Ever wonder why it's called a "vending machine"? Look up the french verb for "to sell"

It's everywhere. English usually has a competing french and German derived word for each experience.

Yes and even some like factory that sounds totally English actually come from French too. One day I’ll work harder on my French language merhod for English speakers that is based on cognates. There is so much that can be shortcuted with little etymology thrown in.
