    No, why would it ruin it? I've knew it was pronounced "the" for a while now.

    Fact: Birds seem to originate from now extinguished reptiles found underground.

    Asking. Do you want a cookie?

    Asking. Why don't you repeat everything I say?

    But I mean that one of the pronunciations that synonymous with old English is actually wrong, and it sounds quite a bit more similar the English as we know it. Obviously it's still very much different, but one of it's most famous hallmarks is incorrect.

    Modern English is several generations away from Old English which is quite similar to German and has way way more complicated grammar than Modern English. The pronunciation from the Old times is also mostly gone due to the Great Vowel Shift from the 15-16th century.

    Edit: Old English (King Aelfric) Bible: On angynne gesceop God heofenan and eorðan.2Seo eorðe soðlice wæs idel ond æmti, ond þeostra wæron ofer ðære nywelnysse bradnysse; ond Godes gast wæs geferod ofer wæteru.

    Indeed, I'm not disputing this. Old English is still very much different to what we know these days. It's just that one of its supposed "features" is actually untrue, which I think changes how it's viewed, in a small way. Or at least it does for me.

    I actually had Classes on Old English as part of the History of Language course :p It's nasty :D Still better than Protoindoeuropean, but nasty nonetheless :D

    Ooh, that sounds like a bundle o' fun. I actually do Latin in my spare time (as seen in my signature), but that's about as lingual as I get.

    OT: (If Glitch realize that they are made if metal) Intimidation. Beaks do naught against metal. Remember that.

    Warning. No religious solicitation allowed in village.
    Insult. A human once told me bird brain is an insult, scans indicate that you are in fact a bird and have a brain.
    Inquiry. What do you mean why do I talk like this?
     
  10. "Song. Bird is included into the 'word' multitude."
    "Negation. No, I have no time to talk about Kluex."

    INQUIRY. WHY DO YOU REPEATEDLY TALK TO ME?

    'Cause you know, on most games if you repeatedly talk to a character over and over again they don't find it abnormal.

    Is this a nod to HK47?

    that's a pretty cool idea.

    Statement: Several meatbags have noted simulates between glitches and HK47 from KOTOR2 (I believe).

    How about some dialogue between two Glitch guards?

    "Query: Think you'll get your own squad after what happened last night?"

    "Rebuttal: Never doubt it."
