This column is to give thanks to the cows who have contributed so much to our lives. To those cows who have put their lives at steak for us humans as well as to those who have fodder to ruminate on and greener pastures to seek. Cows have made contributions to our society in many ways, but today I'd like to talk about their contributions to the English language.
Cows have given us many English phrases and vocabulary that we use in our everyday language. Although cows tend to moo in their own language, we have many borrowed words from cows. This is like gairaigo in Japanese, words imported from another language. Cows have contributed greatly to the English language. Besides, cows have four legs, something I've always wanted. Their horns are kind of nice too.
