English, to simplify...
But they've spoke in ways of which we do not today.
In ways only the object admire.
In the way of the old, learning and yet decided, which has succumbed to a much lesser language.
Know ye not of terms of past;
Yet here I stand and say to admire them.
For whenst we came, once pronounced and forever revolutionized...
...the English language.
