Why do you THINK they had to have so many gunboats back in the day? (The only foreign language they spoke well was Armstrong Vickers.)

Exaggeration and slander, of course, but man, could they mangle other languages when they took them into English. Almost as good as our California "Passerohbuls" for Paso Robles!
