You and I are not related because we share a common ancestor, and no sensible person would make that claim based on that reasoning. We do draw the line somewhere. If you want to define all languages as related because they all comprise of sound and noise that humans make feel free to.
Also, if you bothered reading not skimming then jumping to conclusions, you would see I linked a couple sources, so you don't actually have to hear it from my mouth.
We literally are related. It's you that finds that irrelevant. A subjective opinion that I dislike. Move on.
Cool, what time should I show up for Christmas dinner in December then? There'd better be lot's of food xD
If you don't find the fact that we are all technically related irrelevant, you should have no issue with my previous statement :)
Also, please don't tell me to move along like you're special, I'll move along whenever I feel like it. You don't like it then stop engaging
If you'd be a little less prickly with your absolutes I honestly might not have a problem with that. I don't like some of my family members, us being related doesn't mean I would or wouldn't want to spend time with them...
