English is weird. It's Germanic in structure, and French in vocabulary.

@Hopelandia English was not only largely influenced by French, but also Celtic languages, Latin and Greek.
Most technological, medical and legal terms are in Latin or Greek.

@basilfawlty89 True, but I'm always amazed that any English word ending in -ence, -ance, -ition, -ation, -ible or -able is essentially the same in French (and Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese); the only difference being the pronunciation.
