I'm glad I don't have to speak real old english. Imagine this example:

"Hige sceal že heardra, heorte že cenre, 
mod sceal že mare, že ure męgen lytlaš" 

My daughter showed me this from her homework in english. I can understand
some words, like reading a dutch or italian newspaper. I can speak neither of the
later, but can read a little. 

The above old english translated:

"Courage must be the greater, 
heart the bolder, 
Spirit the greater, 
the more our strength is diminished."

It's been postulated that the Scots have an inferiority complex - there's
nothing complex about it, we are inferior!

England has been using the language a lot longer than the US, and has
clearly developed some conversational gambits which are spectacular.  "throw
a pigeon amongst the cats"   GREAT.
