Unironically linguistic victim blaming, given most of the "loanwords" were French forced onto the language by the Normans. Who were basically just French speaking Vikings anyways.

Then there there was the Renaissance and Enlightenment obsession with the "Classics" and now you have to say "per diem" instead of "by the day" or "daily pay"
