It's ugly. Sort of like the city-whose-name-is-nevermore-to-be-said.
Also, it's something like an epithet here. Would you want someone to say
that your language reminds them of English?
Reminds me of the Rory award for the most gratuitous use of the word
"Belgium" in a serious film. (Read _Life, the Universe, and Everything_
by Douglas Adams if you didn't recognize that, and if you did, well, um,
read it again.)
