Oh, that's English speakers in general, we will borrow (or steal) words from
any language we encounter, you only have to take a trip down here, where words
like boomerang, kangaroo, billabong and yakka have become part of the language.
:)  Mind you, English appropriated a lot of French words during the Norman
invasion of England, so pinching a bit of French is not exactly new for English
speakers! :D

Anyway, we've drifted just a tad off topic. ;)
