I think stone comes from Anglo-Saxon "Stan" or "Stana", so you can have that one.

Thanks.

However, I can't be bothered to argue against people who obviously try to defend themselves from themselves.

I'll now go and cherish my gold star. Thankyou.

Well I was wrong with the word 'Crap' but I expect something like 'wood' or 'stone' is Anglo-Saxon.

I actually did a half language - half literature English A-level (less reading :D )

Good choice going for literature at Uni. Language is an absolute sod (and that IS Anglo-Saxon!)

I did creative writing and literature for the english side of my degree.

Yes. I am. You ARE an observant one aren't you. Here, have a gold star. Now run along and see what else you can find!

Fair enough. I don't think the swearfilter would have let me put the one I wanted to put. :D
