Learning with @vesaldi that intimated is a word after we thought it was a typo. And it has nothing to do with intimate. Or intimidate. Why is English like this?
@firecoals And slang. And stealing words from other languages too.
@Nentuaby @firecoals
YEP. Bizarre.
@PlanetaryKnight @firecoals Frequently more than once! English's best trick for confusing us is developing a loan word, then continuing to use the foreign word as such, then developing ANOTHER loan word from it.
Like how there are like 17 different English words all borrowed from the french "suite".
