AND THIS
This year, Asher has overtaken Ezra as the number one name on the top 100 names for boys list.
are you sure this isn't a jew only list
Ezra sounds like a Saracen name
THAT WOULD BE A RELIEF, WOULDN'T IT
HOW SO
it is a jewish biblical name

If you read old books, like translations of Nietzsche, Beowulf, etc, and compare it to modern English, the difference is smaller compared to Swedish 100 years ago and Swedish today
oops
the "saracen" equivalent is Uzair
my brother's name
(his is spelt Auzair)
It is still possible to speak proper English that would have been acceptable a good while back, without sounding like a dork
In Swedish that is not the case
I trigger people by using non dumbed down grammar
They chimp out
I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT. PEOPLE FREAK OUT OF YOU USE PROPER ENGLISH HERE.
1600 year old arabic is still intelligible
today
Middle English is intelligible
it's just not socially acceptable to use
I want to go back to Swedish the way it was 100 years ago. The first time I read a book from 1900, I was amazed.
If you weren't retarded, and are an arab, you would understand 98% of what's said in 1600 year old arabic.
AMERICAN ENGLISH IS THE SAME. COMPARE PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES FROM 1900 TO 2010. IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT.
Or more if youre experienced
English 1600 years ago would most likely not be understood
I think at that point, it was still old English
more similar to the language in Beowulf than what we hear now
THE KING JAMES BIBLE OF 1611 IS QUITE READABLE AND INTELLIGIBLE
Yeah, but that's just 400 years ago
that's middle English
AH. I WAS LOOKING AT 1600 AS A YEAR.
MY MISTAKE.
I made the same mistake for a while
Even 2000 year old arabic
Shakespeare, the most famous writer of middle English, wrote with a certain accent in mind
Is understandable to a great degree
