The old English I was thinking of is the one you can find in those books by.... And here's where I forget my A-level English. I *think* its
Chaucer. I think.
It was about people on a pilgramage, and he wrote quite a few of them. Believe you me tranlating it could give you a headache. It was also remarked that at times the language sounded what you'd expect a child to talk like in some ways, though obviously when disgussed in A-level you had to say that in a more refined manner.
Anywho, yeah, Thats the old English I was thinking of. Not just adding Thy and Thou and saying come Hither children and all that (which is by and large complete and utter bollocks, but its fun bollocks so you'll never hear me complain about it) and I do know people who try and use it as a way to elevate themselves above the common man.
I also agree its a bloody stupid thing to do to try and do, but it is done. Then again I'm in a country where some Christian group dress up as Flanders and meet every Sunday after church or something, and even try to talk like him... So, you know, oddities are abound. <p><div style="text-align:center">
