so does anyone still talk like they are in the dark ages with kings and princesses and knights? i do...sometimes. i find it fun! weeeeeee!! ..eth.

yea verily. i dost occasionally talketh like ye olde english. 'tis quite fin indeed.

Oh, talking like that would make me a bit confused on what I was saying. On occasion, I do like saying "better than thou", but then, that makes me a bit more confused then when I was before.

Reading Shakespeare would've made me so confused if it wasn't for the little notes on the sides....so, the point of this reply is: No, I don't like speaking Old English.

Forsooth, m'lady.

I sometimes do, like when I am playing LOTR. It is just fun!

for namu: get back from thee foul daemon! thy words were only jokes!

i know lets all speak like that in here!!!! no matter what!!!

If I knew where art thy daemons, then I shalt run! Nay, I shall fight!

I had no idea if I even said that right. (We had to learn some of these last year, but it collects dust in the back of my mind)

loleth!!

Verily hath I spoken in such a tongue, though forsooth it has addled a good many fellows. But never the good sir lightbringer. Thou must take great pains to chose thy company well.

oh ye of little faith!!!

or how about

ye ol toilet

Shakespeare's great, but not really old english (early modern instead). Now Beowulf is Old English:

Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.

I love how that sounds, but sadly don't know the language. Chaucer and Langland aren't easy either for that matter (well Langland is supposed to be awful in the original). I really would love to know Old English though.

I like to talk like that for fun sometimes.. usually its when someone's ignoring me and I go "WHAT SAYEST THOU??"

I guess its an old-english version of Aragorn's line he repeats in LOTR:ROTK, "what say you?"

My favorite thing about 8-bit theater is when they have signs that say things like: WANTED: 4 Ye Olde Lighte Warriorse Ofe Destinye Toe Rescuee Kingdome Frome Darknesse Inquiree Withine."

Mwah! Chaucer!! ^___^

"Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
The drote of Marche hath perced to the rote..."

Or something that dost so resemble the above in spelling. Though, verily, I lack talent in Old English speech.

Indeed! Thy tongue, thy heart...i say you! Thy knaves with thy talk of such "G-Unit"...for shame! Shame, I say! Their tongues are ridden with thy filth..

Yarth, Ith somtimeith findith meith speakinith in a tonith, that reapith medivil times!

thine threadeth is getting big...eth. loleth!!

Oh yes m' lady! I do so all the time! Tis' very fun! >^.^< Does m' lady happen to like jousting? Tis' very fun and exciting I think.

yes, i favor a good jousting.

Aye, Verily I hath broken into "old english" on random occasions. I doth useth words such as 'tis quite often. And I regularly occasion to call maids "milady" and insult people by calling them "wenches" and "vagabonds." (Mostly me siblings and good friends.)

Hark! What parlei be this in the civile English tongue? Methinks I hath found a most noble clanship an ever was one. A boone! Pray continue thy merriment!

Oh yeah!!!!! I sure do!

Why yes I love to speak in old english. William Shakespeare is one of my best sources on it since I have his entire works but beowulf is also a very good source on the language.

Real old elglish
geond ic gecweðan se eald geþiode
(though I speak the old language)
