I suppose you want it in english.

What i said had little importance and can be summed up easily.

English language has a lot of words in common with french, either through common roots or through borrowing ; english nobility spoke french and was mostly of french origin, they adopted the english languages during the second 100 years war.

Comments in french called for pointless remarks, so i answered (i like pointless things as a whole).

The english word "scout" comes from the old french word "escoute", which derives from the verb "écouter" (to listen ; old : "escouter").

Similarly, "spy" comes from the old french word "espie", which derives from the verb "épier" (to spy ; old : "espier", comes from the latin ...).

So basically, drop the "e-" at the beginning of the word to have the english word from the french one.

first conclusion : spy an scout are pretty much the same.

second conclusion : i was too lazy to write this in english past midnight

third conclusion : you are deeply asleep
