This is for anyone who wants to know more. It covers the language from roots of Roman and Anglo-Saxon, though old English to middle and modern :) There's examples of text from each transition, showing pretty much what I described in the differences in the language as it evolved. (I guess I do know what I'm talking about <.<) To join the 'what I did at school' club, I had 5 years of British history lessons. If anyone with a degree in this wants to add anything informative (as opposed to "haha that just makes me laugh"), just ask.

Kiraki: hehe :) I've only seen over politically correct things, like a black dwarf star called a non-luminescent diametrically challenged object :P

It seems like me and Xordan have found out through PM's that we agree and always did. The biggest reason we were even arguing was due to miscommunication between us.  ;D
This whole argument therefore must be a testament of the differences in the forms of the English language.  ;D
