Speaking of, can I be a GN with regards to people referring to the likes of Shakespeare or the King James' Bible as "Old English?"

"Hƿæt! Ƿē Gār-Dena in ġeār-dagum, þēod-cyninga, þrym ġefrūnon, hū ðā æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scēfing sceaþena þrēatum, monegum mǣġþum, meodosetla oftēah, egsode eorlas. Syððan ǣrest ƿearð fēasceaft funden, hē þæs frōfre ġebād, ƿēox under ƿolcnum, ƿeorðmyndum þāh, oðþæt him ǣȝƿylc þāra ymbsittendra ofer hronrāde hȳran scolde, gomban gyldan. Þæt ƿæs gōd cyning!"

That is "Old English," no?

Like I said, there's no need for me to care if a post is readable. However, a jumbled mess like "hi i wos siting in teh pub wen i saw a man fal ovr he wos drunk lol and it wos vry funy i larfed" then I have to point out that their story would be much funnier to read about if it was written in proper English.

Larfed?

Oh my lord that whole thing was funny. It was so bad it was funny.
