> It's something like 30% of our words.

Not by any metric you'd care about. (And almost certainly not by any metric at all.)

Your comment contains 49 words. 4 come from Norse, 2 come from Latin (without passing through French), and 3 come from French. The remaining 40 come from Old English.

That's the count by token. By lemma, I counted 9 duplicate words, of which two are Norse and 7 are English. That brings French all the way up to 7.5%!
