Gender fluid, eh? It’s a poor thing when you have to routinely check your gender every few hours.

Maybe I’m being old fashioned but if you p** standing up you’re a guy.

no American is not my first nor second language nor is it a language, what you are on about is a simplified version of English.

I'm not sure why don't you like American (given that it is an officially recognized language variety), but whatever dialect you are using is certainly very simplified.

From your posts, I'm pretty sure you use your own version of the English language.

Hello Kissoff,


What version of pidgin are you writing in? As an amateur linguist I am unable to recognize it.

You got my curiosity, dear. What in the world is "the original English"?

Do you refer to the Old English? That was basically a Germanic dialect.

Or maybe you are thinking about Middle English? That was the one heavily influenced by French, and had a very simplified grammar - kind of a French-German pidgin, if you will.

I bet that you could not read a page of text in neither one of these original Englishes.

Today, the English language varieties continue to change, as for example British English varies considerably from Standard American English (which, by the way, is an atrocity that is spoken only by news anchors - real people don't talk that way, and there is considerable regional variation within the US).

Basically what I'm trying to convey here is that there is no such thing as "original English" spoken today. All varieties of English have been changing over time, and the differences in how people speak and even write (color vs. colour) are due to complex social and historical processes.

P.S.:

By the way, the reason why several people here have questioned your linguistic skills in any form of English, is due to your disregard of widely accepted grammar and syntax rules.

I actually quite enjoy reading/listening/watching Shakespeare's work which is entirely old English but you should also be aware that English is continuously being built upon while old and new being used constantly like for example "welcome" a word brought to us by the vikings that is stereotyped to be the most violent of societies. But the rules of English that I follow are different to yours.

You are aware I didn't put that there for a synonym I put it that to show those lacking in common sense which side was my English and which is yours.

No, dear, Shakespeare did not speak Old English, either - he actually spoke and wrote modern English.

This is a sample of text written in Old English (on the left how it was written, on the right in modern transcription):



You tell me, what it is about.

But the rules of English that I follow are different to yours.

The thing is, dear, that most of the time, you seem to not follow any rules, which makes your prose exceedingly difficult to read. You should know that punctuation and proper capitalization do not differ that much between varieties of modern English.

As if any Christian American actually follows the rules of god cause last I checked pride was a one of the greater sins, and you're all proud Americans. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Please find me some Bible verses that support your ideals.

Wait, what?

I was asking about translation of the above text in Old English (which is a fragment from Beowulf), not about some confused ideas you might have.

This is the translation I asked for:

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts:

And here is how these verses sounded over 1000 years ago:

However, if you want to know how the beginning of the Declaration of Human Rights would look like in Old English, here it is:

Ealle fīras sind boren frēo ond geefenlican in ār ond riht. Hīe sind gifeðe gerād ond ingehygd, ond sculon dōn ongēan oðrum be feore of brōþorhāde.

In summary: your knowledge of history of English: none; your ability to google things: below average.

You're thinking of the Crash-o-licks who believe in a hierarchy of sins. They made that little scam up to sell Indulgences in the Middle Ages, dear. The Bible gives no such credence to such codswallop.

Wrong again, dear. All human beings are born slaves unto sin, thanks to Adam and Eve and the talking Serpent in the Garden of Eden. Dignity is subjective, and rights are granted by an authority. In the case of mankind, that authority belongs to Jesus and Jesus alone. You have the right to apologize for having been born and therefore acted out in sin since your conception, or be damned forever more.

O for three, dear. Reason and conscience are suspect in the unregenerated heart. This is why one must trust the Holy Bible in order to know how to treat your fellow man. You'll find no reason and conscience in there, only the Will of the LORD and the narrow path to Righteousness!


Glory!

Great! We're back on topic. I'd like to quote the Easter reference from Acts.

Acts 12:1-7 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

No mention of eggs. But they're not really eggs, are they. If anyone wanted to make a chocolate IDOL.—.and let's face it, idolatry is what we're talking about here.—.surely a chocolate prison cell would at least have something in common with the only Scriptural reference to Easter?

There was mention of an egg-shaped stone blocking the entrance to Jesus’ empty tomb. Now disregarding the fact that, however it was rolled back, someone would have had to roll it across to start with one must ask: how did the stone even get into position at all? It would have to be transported somehow, even if it was only a few hundred feet. Have you any idea how much a stone like that weighs?

That was easy! Stone from the Jerusalem area is dolomitic limestone. Its range is from the Red Sea to Galilee, between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. This is just too easy. I can pretty well lift the chart straight out from HERE .but will edit it down a little because I enjoy doing that.

Average Specific Gravity of Various Rock Types

. .Material. .	. .Specific Gravity. .	. .Tons/CubicYard. .
Dolomite	. .2.8 - 2.9. .	. .2.36 - 2.44. .
Limestone	. .2.3 - 2.7. .	. .1.94 - 2.28. .

There is no record of visitors to the empty tomb having to crawl in so lets say it was 2 yards high. A circular stone a yard thick would be less than 4 cubic yards. It's simple arithmetic. Going with the lighter 2 tons/cubic yard still gives an 8 ton stone but if it was Easter-egg shaped, then its least dimension would need to be the full 2 yards giving a weight of around 30 tons. Who on earth could roll around a 30 ton dolomitic limestone Easter egg? And this was a pre-existing tomb. Standard issue, as it were. Now I do appreciate that Roman soldiers were rather dashing, but if requested to handle such megalithic consignments for their Jewish subjects I feel words would be spoken. Complaints would be made.

Furthermore, if someone wanted to make a chocolate empty tomb why would they make an egg and then come up with some ludicrous back story about representative symbolism when anyone seeing a chocolate egg actually alive at the time would recognise it immediately? But whether you made chocolate empty tombs or chocolate prison cells or chocolate "eggs" or even chocolate idiotic ovate boulders ALL of them are IDOLS as is spelled out here, just so we'd know the requirements for avoiding HELL and the single reason why no Christian would ever buy such an object for a child.

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

My dear Kissoff,


Please understand that none of us are born free. It is only through the Love of Christ that we become free:


Romans 8:2

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

I do hope, sincerely, that this clears things up for you. Throw of the shackles of your wayward, sinful life and allow Christ Jesus to enter you and fill you with His conditional Love.


I am still praying for your Salvation,

P.S. Your use of the English Language is still deplorable. This rape, of a Language, is probably due to a below average education. Did you go to a Catholic sponsored school?

[agnesaliencat]

Actually, Easter is about spring and fertility. It was also a Pagan holiday before you lot stole it and made it all about you and your beliefs, and that is a known fact (albeit one you'll likely mock me for, but still, facts are facts, and slapping Christianity on specific holidays doesn't change that).
