For all you fancy boys and girls who say
'fracture' instead of 'break'
'larceny' instead of 'theft'
'interrogate' instead of 'ask'
You can thank the Battle of Hastings (1066).

Coulda had Fowler's on here too. EB White wrote several popular children's books for children ("Stuart Little" (1945), "Charlotte's Web" (1952), and "The Trumpet of the Swan" (1970). He was also a longtime writer at The New Yorker magazine.
