Language

I love to learn and speak languages,
And to speak about languages.
 
About verbal and non verbal communication,
And how context and pronunciation,
And spelling, and just changing one letter/word/sound, can completely change communication.
 
About slang terminology, and how language has changed over the thousands of years,
And how it has changed rapidly in the past few hundred years...
 
But It stinks,
I hate it when people think,
That Early Modern English is the same as Old English,
Here is an example of Old English:
 
Mīn wandrian-scyf ful ǣlen is
Mīn lyfthærnflota is ful ǣla.
 
Did Shakespeare write that way?
What does that sentence say?
If you can read that, then good for you,
I know it, but do you?
Someone comment it below, please do.
