Very informative, thanks.

I came across Simon Roper’s hypothetical constructing of English if it had retained some its archaic characteristics (e.g. See man didn’t like thone apple.) And I wonder if you would ever consider also carrying those old grammar constructions into Anglish? Or is resurrecting old features that were naturally discarded in English go against some unwritten rules of Anglish that I am unaware of?

Anglish just tries to revert some changes caused by the Norman Invasion. Most changes in grammar aren't strongly linked to the Norman Invasion.

@@Hurlebatte from what I have heard, most of the grammatical changes come from Old Norse right? For example, the quick loss of the case system.

@@evan7391 I've heard that theory. I don't know how true it is. A different theory is that English lost its cases because final vowels merged into a schwa sound, destroying many of the distinctions between cases.

While your criticisms regarding what people say online are valid, how much do those people really care if they're mistaken? A lot of them aren't as scholarly as you are. They're just amateurs who have taken the first idea they discovered and run with it so they can have some fun playing around with runes.

Some percentage of them are serious about learning about runes, so my videos are for them.
