English \Eng"lish\, n.       1. Collectively, the people of England; English people or             persons.          2. The language of England or of the English nation, and of             their descendants in America, India, and other countries.          Note: The English language has been variously divided into                periods by different writers. In the division most                commonly recognized, the first period dates from about                450 to 1150. This is the period of full inflection, and                is called Anglo-Saxon, or, by many recent writers, Old                English. The second period dates from about 1150 to                1550 (or, if four periods be recognized, from about                1150 to 1350), and is called Early English, Middle                English, or more commonly (as in the usage of this                book), Old English. During this period most of the                inflections were dropped, and there was a great                addition of French words to the language. The third                period extends from about 1350 to 1550, and is Middle                English. During this period orthography became                comparatively fixed. The last period, from about 1550,                is called Modern English.          3. A kind of printing type, in size between Pica and Great             Primer. See {Type}.          Note: The type called English.          4. (Billiards) A twist or spinning motion given to a ball in             striking it that influences the direction it will take             after touching a cushion or another ball.          {The} {King's, [or] Queen's}, {English}.
