by Korigon's nipples!
/me wins

nipples is used modern day and thus does not count

 

[Legion]

Fine.
"Go" is a verb used today
"rubarb" is a crop that is still grown today, and is used in jelly
"yourself" is a relative pronoun still used today.

Therefore yours does not count either.

lolwhut?
this is starting to get ridiculous!
ok, commoners use simple english, kings and knights use shakesperian! And if you're a special case, imagine how your char grew up. generally speaking, if you're a non-human from an advanced civilization, use varying degrees of shakesperian (like elves, for instance), and if you're from the wild, then use very simple speech (like how meg talks!)
problem solved.

Hell, I speak a horrible collection of confusing shortenings of words and grammatically poor sentences. Because A) I'm a foreigner and B) I'm a commoner no Knightly courtly speeches for me

 

[Gaby]

exactly! and I'm a lowly villager turned werewolf, so no kingly stuff for me, either!
oh, wait, I am engaged to a knight...
oh, well I haven't been taught proper ettiquete, so it's still peasantspeak!
gonna have to get used to that...

You continue to talk about one set of people.
What about the itallians?
The british?
The Romans?
The Greeks?
The Spanish?
The Indians?
The Mayans?
and you might say "thats not english" but the server is a "Medieval, Rennisance, and Fantasy Server"

okay one small part of this irks me. The British. England. Is Part of Britain. Britain was not a medieval concept in the way it is today, hell even today some people take offence at being called British. Just in "Britain" not even "Great Britain" you have three very distinct cultural groups. ((English, Scottish and Welsh)) and that's without even taking into account regional differences.
