Andrew, how are you defining ''somewhat primitive'' with regard to Old English? The sentence looks a bit like you're saying it's primitive because we can't understand it today; I'm sure this isn't what you mean. [[User:DeniseM|DeniseM]] 06:55, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

: Denise, in response to your comment and in explanation of alteration of some of your edits, we don't subscribe to the fallacious view that all languages are equal.  See [[Essay:Best_New_Conservative_Words]] for how English lacked terms for concepts and then developed them anew.  Old English lacked those and many other terms, and had a vocabulary that was only a tiny fraction of the vocabulary of English today.  That makes it primitive, despite how much liberals may pretend that is politically incorrect.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 09:37, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
