    That’s why I wrote it in quotes. ‘Germanic’, and you can fuck off now if you want. Extrovert… lol

    Edit: “actual linguistics science” 💀

    Here’s something topical, why don’t you read that and get back to me when you finish high school:

    Gattir allar, aþr gangi fram, vm scoðaz scyli, vm scygnaz scyli; þviat ouist er at vita, hvar ovinir sitia a fleti fyr.

    Egredit: That was a weird flex, I’ll compose myself and write you a proper answer instead because I’m a bit cunty like this and I should really stop belittling people’s intelligence, they are also people in a way.

      It’s so funny seeing you flounder after being called out for your blatant lying lmao. “That’s why I wrote it in quotes”? What???

      And it’s funny how you just looked up a random Old Norse text online and copied the first paragraph of the second chapter to try to pretend that you can back up your lies. And now your comeback is “b… but go back to high school! k-kid!”. Pathetic, you need to improve your bullshitting.

        Ok, when I get back from the store after getting a shitfuck much more alcohol, I’ll treat you to a personal recitation and upload it to you, to calm your nerves, how about that? Would that assuage your doubts? Hey, assuage, that shit’s French too!

        I’m gonna do it for you buddy.

          Maybe if you record your device on, say, chatgpt and make it generate random old english & old norse, and then attempt to translate them in real time, I’d believe you. But anyone can just pronounce a pretty consistent phonemic orthography ;)

            “FAKE!” “EVERYTHING IS FAKE!” “NOTHING IS REAL!”

            …unless of course it accords with your own beliefs, right?

            I get it kid, you’re trying to save face, because you look like an idiot, and nobody wants to look like an idiot.

            But I also know that you know that we both know that I know what the fuck I’m talking about, and the cheap points you tried to score missed by a mile. That’s all right. I was also a teenager on the Internet once. Hell, it seems you are turning me back into one.

            After having been online for 30 years, sometimes you just snap because some kid says something stupid to somebody actually knowledgeable on a subject, and it’s hard to let that fucking kid go, you know.

            Try getting that text out of a fucking chatbot.

              Lmao you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve had a significant amount of formal education in linguistics, considering I was specializing in computational linguistics. I’ve spent many years of my life specifically on linguistics, even before I started my degree which is linguistics focused, and said college education has significantly added onto it.

              Every modern, accredited linguistics professor would laugh at your claims. The things you say sound like jokes to anyone with actual knowledge on dialectology and historical linguistics. Even a layman linguist would think you’re insane. Unfortunately your beliefs are also the same that a large portion of the poorly educated populace has, so even though it’s a stupid belief it’s still common for those not educated in linguistics.

              You’re just throwing out ad hominem attacks because you have been clearly caught lying out of your ass about knowing multiple things (You can easily “read Germanic”? You think Old English/Norse and French writing is mutually intelligible with English writing to any significant degree? What???). You literally just Googled a random Old Norse manuscript and copy pasted one of the first paragraphs to try to come up with something to back up your claims.

              You look silly. There is no more purpose in arguing with you since you clearly refuse to learn from your nonsense drivel being clearly torn apart. You can’t even follow up on your “promises”. Lol

              These are definitely good reads for people like you, just to show you what people who have actual linguistics & culture knowledge think of the likes of you:

                This is just pathetic. Honestly. I am going to guess you “didn’t have time” to check my video, right?
