That would be tough, considering that there's a pretty good chance that any
English paragraph will contain a word that is identical to and perhaps stolen
from a French word.

(In that last paragraph, I see only one such word:  "chance."  But I think
I tend to use shorter words than most English writers.  For example, in this
paragraph, I see no such words -- even "example" is spelled differently from
its French equivalent.  Oops -- what about "equivalent"?)
