IT'S GREEK TO ME
Do you speak Greek?
Sure you do: fantasy, category, eon, epoch, apathy, catalyst, analysis, synthesis, symbol, dogma, Christ, meteorology, mystery, auto ( =self), practice, catholic ( =universal), organic, micron, mega, dialogue (and many dia- words),
scheme, idea, skeptic, graph, prologue,
prototype (and many pro- words),
telegraph ( = distance + write; and many tele- words)
... and many, many more.

All of us speak a lot of Greek without even knowing it. Modern English is chockablock with words that are either directly Greek or derived from Greek.
You can thank British literary men of the Elizabethan era and later for much of that. Plus scientists from thence forward planted a lot of Hellenisms on us.
Take the word "psychology."
That's from Greek "psyche" ( =soul or mind)
and "logos" ( =word or principle and now taken to mean "study of").
Another one: "pornography" which splices Greek words for "evil" and "write."

Much Greek also comes down through Latin, which is a major component of modern English.

About 80 percent of the entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin. Over 60 percent of all English words have Greek or Latin roots. In the vocabulary of the sciences and technology, the figure rises to over 90 percent. About 10 percent of the Latin vocabulary has found its way...

A dialog on programer

  What do programers do? They program. So get with the program and use the slimmer, more sensible spelling. That goes for programing too.
  Back in the seventies, a bunch of illiterate computer enthusiasts adopted the double-m spelling. And vroom! they won. But the American spelling of the base noun is program, not programme as in Britain.
  In this country we tend to drop the double consonant in derived forms. To wit, cancelled was once quite common. But these days canceled is far more common.

  Newspaper readers of yore may remember kidnaper and kidnaped, though today's unlettered youths assume you are semi-literate if you use those forms. But, I say, use 'em. They save space.
  Other words that rate a slimmer version: cigaret and employe, though you have to learn to read those with a long e ending.
