I see nothing wrong with having a rich linguistic history that has led to English being the most expressive, complex and intricate language in the world, as well as the international language of science, commerce and diplomacy. Meanwhile, all three of you speak disgusting, worthless and irrelevant languages that serve no purpose in the modern world. Did that whelm you sufficiently?

Awful used to mean bringing awe
Awe used to have neutral connotations just like fear and dread and fate and doom
Both draw and drawer are based on the verb meaning to move something along something else
