But why don't you mention at the same time that you
can generate myriads of sentences (real, natural ones,
as compared with your recent 2 examples) -- only by making
use of Romanian vocabulary of *inherited* Latin words (i.e.,
by avoiding loanwords/neologisms)? Or showing that
you can reduce substratisms as well as Slavic, Hungarian & al.
loanies to small percentages.

It has nothing to do with pride, it has to do with facts, evidence.
(Whereas those assertions made by that gentleman and other
people... walk on stilts as thin and fragile as those in Dali's
paintings showing the temptation of St. Anthony. :-)
