I tried to pick and choose a little bit, selecting words that had some similarity to modern English. The full Olde English was a completely foreign language. Thanks for taking the time to work through it :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568940271252821814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694222619047441202.post-7723444073066521322015-02-23T02:19:34.937-08:002015-02-23T02:19:34.937-08:00Wonderful piece.

I wouldn't have been able to enjoy your story if it had all been in that style.Aheilahttp://thewriteaholicblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694222619047441202.post-65841335090159211852015-02-19T19:44:22.590-08:002015-02-19T19:44:22.590-08:00I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I thought about doing the whole thing Chaucer-style, but it was just too much work - I used a translator to Olde English to get it accurate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568940271252821814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694222619047441202.post-30758434380228424992015-02-19T19:21:24.147-08:002015-02-19T19:21:24.147-08:00Yeah, I had never heard that about Chaucer until I...Yeah, I had never heard that about Chaucer until I started researching the origins of the holiday.
