dragonlady7In a fit of ambition a while back i joined the Old English Mailing List, an oldschool group-emailing thing (ENGLISC).
I get periodic emails with things like questions about verb declensions and how to type the higher-order characters on various keyboards and the like.
Sometimes, however, the emails are about nothing so straightforwardly Old English-related as all that.
I actually found this article quite interesting, so i'm sharing it, but i think the context in which the link was presented is quite amusing as well.
Wow. Sunnanspeccan. The eorthan is being wearmath by the sunne. That's some tidunga.
I still don't know any Old English, but at least I'm entertained.
