Don't laugh, Pancake. I used to sound like that, back in the 9th century, when I was wandering all over Western Europe. Everywhere I went they spoke a different dialect of really bad provincial Latin and it gets jumbled up in your head after a while.

Though in the ninth century English was still basically German, so there's no way he could have said "doth believe" then. right?

It is neither hearsay nor heresy, good sir, whichever of the latter you may in fact be referring to.

There was no reason for me to say that at all, apart from the fact that the thread's title confused me and thus everyone else deserved to be confused more. I should sleep. When one is amused by combining European languages, there is no hope of productivity.

Unless your mothertongue consists of jumbling two or more European languages. It saves time otherwise wasted on trying to remember what the word was in the language you're currently using.

What are you talking about, that was perfect Olde english!
Humans AREN'T monkeys, they're apes.

As an atheist, my view is that all religions are equally as true as the last.
Hehehe :)

YOU HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED SINCE BIRTH
THINKof how many references to "god" you say in your daily life,
"God!", "Damn it!", "Hell!", "Oh lord!", "Bless you", "holy shit!", "Godspeed" etc.
THINK of all the war propaganda you endure every day
NEWS, VIDEO GAMES, MOVIES, MUSIC, COMMERCIALS.
THINK of how avid consumerism is a part of your life.
Brand loyalty, Commercialism, Drug company monopolies, Class dictated by wealth, Bailouts.
CAPITALISM IS NOT THE SAME AS CONSUMERISM.


Relax....

Verily, I say, educate thy self in real early Modern English, many of the pathetic attempts in this thread doth come from a terrible misconception of King James-era English.

Your spelling's about spot-on though.
