is the word "it" the most vague/general word in teh english language?

[CharlieMac]

Much like every other word in modern english, "it" has deep indo-european roots tracing back to Old English. It's root is ko- which is the stem of a demonstrative pronoun meaning "this".

It's old english form is "hit". I don't know why the the H was dropped, but I'm going to assume that voice assimilation took place. The word hit has some germanic roots to it so maybe Grimms law came into effect and morphed the word into "it".

Who says this english degree will never come in handy? I could be wrong either way.

Good thing.

tlong would look pretty silly saying "I'd hit hit" all the time.
