True origins for those interested:

canoe, potato, savannah, tobacco, hurricane = Arawakan (Hayti/Haiti)
cocoa, chocolate = Nahuatl (Aztecan)
adobe, crimson = Arabic
jade, crusade, tornado, plaza = Vulgar Latin

sidenotes:
"platinum" is Latin, not Spanish (known as "platino") lol
"canyon" is only used in formerly-Mexican-held parts of USA (i.e., not in Spain, Mexico, Latin America or elsewhere)

Watch this. It explains how it works perfectly.

No it doesn't..

>And the Spanish acquired it from the word "kana:wa", used by the Arawakan indians of the Caribbean islands to describe their boats

Yes, there is a Spanish word and French word that ended up in English, but canoe isn't Spanish.

Same with potato. Taíno is an extinct Arawakan language that was spoken by the Taíno people of the Caribbean.

You are using stolen words from colonial Spain, and pretending they are Spanish that ended up in American English, but they were words for stuff they found in the Americas and their native words.

I was expecting "armada".

And "guerrilla" is a weird one. It came for a Germanic term, and then it was given back to them.

Oh my god you're right.

but, still, flotilla has more mentions than potato

Out of all these words, the one I like saying the most is "potato." It rolls of the tongue.

This actually appears to be at least half of the words listed. And some, like crimson, come from Arabic as well.

Yes. This is true. Some words originated in another language, were then incorporated into Spanish, and then incorporated into English from Spanish.

Some of these are used in Spanish, but are definitely not of Spanish origin, like "chocolate" or "potato", which come from languages spoken in the Americas before the Spanish arrived, but I guess English took them from Spanish after Spanish took them from the native languages.

It appears that the overall amount of money Americans are spending hasn't changed much...but since the prices of everything has, could one conclude that there are a lot less calories, protiens, and ounces of food being consumed?

In the lives of people around here (Strafford County, NH) who are on fixed incomes or low income, there has been a huge rise in the need to access food pantries, meals on wheels, and senior commodities.

At the same time, pandemic extra food stamps ran out last June. The social security increase was a good 5-8% less than the increase in food prices, and some workers who got higher pay rates discovered it made them ineligible for or reduced food stamp amounts by more than the extra cash in the paycheck. We also have hundreds of unfilled Homecare positions statewide, so more disabled & elderly who don't have the stamina or transportation to do their own food shopping are losing a huge % of their grocery budget to Instacart etc.

I was expecting the total spent of groceries to be much higher for the 2021 & 2022 dates....

Would be interesting to see where The World is Not Enough showed up

That's a really crappy source. Many people in the comments have pointed out various inaccuracies with your data. If you take the time to make the chart, please take time to verify the data is correct.

bro they lost 500000000000k men and 5000 bazzillion of guns trust me bro

Neither. There are ~60 million people in the UK, I'm surprised that almost 2 million work in the NHS, at least until I think about it. One of my friends is a paramedic, another a care hoke worker. Makes sense.

Maybe ur math is wrong

I don't think he's saying either, it's just a very high percent of people employed by one organisation, similarly it surprised me as well but then I think how many people I know that work there, I pretty much had the same reaction.

Gremlins oddly missing from this image

From that page:

>Geographic Coverage: >England

The NHS also covers Wales and Scotland, which will account for the other .4m

IF you use Beef, Beer, Cokes, Stouffer Frozen Food, Crackers, and Oreo's, well that only 50% and people just think youre being to selective to make fun of American Diets
