I've decided to learn Old English.

[ZombieNixon]

This will be my third largely unhelpful but cool sounding linguistic skill, alongside my ability to speak Gaelic and conlang like a muthafucker.

Word thín méder tó, biccan. (That is, "word to your mother, bitches")

:crazy:

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I don't know which is scary, the fact that you really want to learn that

or the fact that I understood that. :crazy:

[ZombieNixon]

3. Busting out the Anglo-Saxon, gangsta-style!

:D

Meh...I never said I'd learn it well. :P

[WindRavenX]

2. psshh...that's nothing. Learn middle english.

:P

[ZombieNixon]

4. Sithen the sege and the assaut wats sesed at Troye

The borg brittened and brent to brondes and askes

:P

6. Middle English is so annoying.

I took Medieval Literature in college. I'm sure my hatred of Middle English is also fueled by the incredible DICKWAD I had for a professor.

[MiniMandaRuth]

5. Oh yeah?

Imanjuri fourl a liksaeoi rlk sdf groy feils grou buotewa weramsea.

Take THAT!

edit: for spelling.

[ZombieNixon]

7. OK, you got me.

Except for "rlk sdf" it looks like it could be a real language.

What it is? :shrug:

:hi:

[MiniMandaRuth]

8. Rlk and Sdf.

That is the name of the language.

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

11. And what is it?

:P

[MiniMandaRuth]

13. The language of

Your mom!

[ZombieNixon]

17. Hmm, I'll have to ask her about that.

I've always been under the impression that she speaks English. :P

[LostInAnomie]

9. This would be a good place to start.

[ZombieNixon]

10. Could you...

put in a bottle that doesn't look like the 40 full of frothy urine I saw outside a bar once? :shrug:

[LostInAnomie]

12. Well, it is OE

The only difference is the malt.

[JVS]

15. I took two courses in that last night along with the Mickey's seminar

[JVS]

14. Next year I can take Old German, which is cooler than Old English

You should take Old Norse, it's cooler than OE and it gives you an excuse to hang out in Chambana with all the coolest people

[Random_Australian]

16. ÿüöi, ;çordnät Ċċ

ERRORÿ'o'gçïlmé|Ygs ' ü || llmarï ERROR

[Random_Australian]

18. Holy SHIT! Did you see that! That was soooo cool!

Except the "ERROR" bits.

[ZombieNixon]

19. Uhh...

"ÿ'o'gçïlmé|Ygs ' ü || llmarï"

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

20. I didn't write it at all like that. The computer had a fit when I posted.

[ZombieNixon]

21. It looks like there could be something there...

Early Modern Elvish, perhaps? :shrug:

Were you trying to post Unicode? :shrug:

[Nikia]

22. My grandfather's cousin had to learn it for her PHD in English lit

She considered it the hardest part of getting her degree too. I never really studied Old English, but wouldn't it be easier to learn than most foreign languages?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. It's barely recognizable as English.

Middle English is pretty easy once you get the hang out it though.
