Au contraire, my fellow Aussie. Where do you think Allan Border went
after he "retired" from cricket? He went to play baseball. The
now-defunct Australian Baseball League lasted from 1989-1999, and
there's a new MLB-aligned league starting this November:

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow
words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways
to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
