"Latin is the lingua franca" is a hilarious phrase

Funny how "lingua franca" doesn't mean French anymore. English is weird.

I find it both hilarious that English is now the lingua franca of world commerce, and that that's the term for it in English. It's fitting, though, since I figure that the way English ~~ransacks~~ borrows from other languages is both a cause and effect of its success.
