Ashton is lying on the floor angrily directing a play. Braius is (enthusiastically) getting choked by Orym (thinks this plan is stupid). Fearne is voluntarily refraining from theft. Imogen and Laudna are acting extras. Dorian is giving an elf brain damage by repeatedly knocking him out. Chet is fucking disassociating.

The Sorrowlord: gets the fuck out of dodge

welcome everybody ♥️

I am Muhammad Imad Abdel Latif Sharab

First, after an aggressive war on Gaza City and its revival, we were displaced from our 3-storey house in which I and my family of 3 members live. R😭😭

My father's family consists of 8 members

My grandfather, may God have mercy on him, was martyred by occupation aircraft on 12/14/2023.

The one who was martyred while he was leaving the house to check on our house next to him, which could not be reached due to a brutal enemy who does not differentiate between anyone in death, went out to check on our house, which we were not in because of my displacement to Rafah, me, my father, and our families due to the intensity of the fighting in Khan Yunis, and after that A few days ago, our store in which my father and brothers work was bombed by occupation aircraft. He was working to gather his strength from it and meet the needs of our house, which no longer exists due to the bombing. We ask you to help and contribute, even if just a little, by donating to us so that we can compensate for a little of what we lost.

Many thanks to you 😢

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

If you do not understand the words well, because I am not very good at English, but I ask you to help me with money so that I can compensate for even a little of what I lost, and I am very grateful to you, my dears😢🥺😢🥺😢🥺🥺😢

know your englishes

i was just talking to a friend about how we have to have this conversation every single quarter that we teach, so i pass it on to you. shakespeare is not old english! chaucer is not old english!! 

old english

also called anglo-saxon

in use from around 400 to around 1066 (the norman conquest) in england and parts of scotland during the early middle ages.

most popular example: beowulf (see it written)

looks the least like modern english:

“Hwaet, we gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!”

if it looks like it could be the name of a field or military group in Rohan, it’s probably OE

middle english

in use from 1066 to the early 1500s (along with french & latin) during the late middle ages. 

most popular example: chaucer’s canterbury tales (see it written)

A knyght ther was, and that a worthy man, That fro the tyme that he first bigan To riden out, he loved chivalrie, Trouthe and honour, fredom and curteisie…”

will have recognizable words. read it out loud if you’re struggling.

still no standardized spelling. or dictionaries. soz. we’re getting there.

just straight-up regular english

in use from the 1500s until now.

that means shakespeare and james joyce and jk rowling are all grouped under the same language umbrella

reread that. shakespeare is tough and uses english differently than we’re used to, but he is not old english! he is, for the purposes of labelling, modern english. 

if you are feeling super picky you can label his work as “early modern english” (”early modern” being the period between 1500 and 1700ish) but tbh that’s a fairly arbitrary distinction.
