So how exactly does it make a 'theft' when it originally comes from mobos?
It's like saying who said the word for the first time in history.
Quote:he first references to welcome are found in Beowolf.
By 1300, “welcome” was being used more loosely to describe something acceptable, pleasurable, freely permitted, or cordially invited.
From Othello: (circa 1603):
Lodovico: Madam, good night; I humbly thank your ladyship.
Desdemona: Your honour is most welcome.
or the word hi?
Quote:greeting, 1862, American English (first recorded reference is to speech of a Kansas Indian), originally to attract attention (15c.), probably a variant of Middle English hy, hey (late 15c.) also an exclamation to call attention. Extended form hiya attested from 1940.
You are telling me Jerry would infraction posters over the phrase? And recently allowing it to slip from infractions? And that the only place it can be said is here?
