That's a good expression :) However, sometimes there are no appropriate equivalents in Polish language that you could express what you really think by using an English word.

The way English shapes other languages and the pace of this spread is really amazing. I guess we can also call it a natural creation of slang that relies mostly on borrowings from English. One of the primary functions of the language is to make the communication easy. When living in the English speaking environment picking up the words that are often heard and to incrporate them in native speech is considered a completely natyral process. Searching your brain for the equvalents of commonly used words in the mother language might be too time consuming for our brains. We are just lazy :) Fully agree.

Just to let you know, there is a term for a Polish-English hybrid, "Ponglish" :)<br>Web 3.0 definitely is in wide circulation but it seems that it hasn't had enough citations yet to qualify for the finals.

I just wonder how does it corespond to the fact that there's a “web 3.0″ termi alive out there as well.

About the varieties there's also a Polish – English mix, no specific name but some of the words are hillarious :)

And what about our mother tongue? Many people, especially young generation that went abroad, use English in their everyday life. Then, after coming back, they still use English in here - putting english words in polish sentences. Are they doing this on purpose? Are they ashamed of being Polish? Or maybe they are not even quite aware of their behaviour? maybe it's just so easy to get use to English? It's amazing how easy does it spread. And what about our mother tongue?
