English

"English is the only language that mugs others and rummages in their pockets for spare grammar"

A friend of mine told me this. Personally I like the sentence because it perfectly describes English as a language since we seem to have a lot of bits and pieces of other languages floating around in our own. The sentence is hypotactic in nature since the full thought isn't finished until the very end of the sentence.
