using same basic javascript engine and v8 layout in same browser, eh mikenigger (aka Daveguerin, et al)?

I am surprised Thisismyaccount and all your mikenigger alts were not banned like about 22 other SBBH thugs were banned this last month, many just this week. I guess the admin still tolerates some of your kiking and ruination of this site.... for now.

I'm not mikenigger just someone who has noticed what you do and I do believe Cynabuns warned you about deleting and reposting a couple of weeks ago and i agree with her.

That entire article goes out of way to AVOID mentioning that the ages they seek will only find written latin, not old english.

5th to the 15th (476 AD – 1453) was the Middle Ages (Medieval) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages

The CENTER of the date range 476 AD – 1453 is (1453 - 476) + 476 = 964 AD

964 AD is the EXACT center of "Medieval"!

And guess what? NOT ONE BRITISH PERSON read Middle English, or even Old English because the oldest known scrap of writing on even a piece of wood with ANY english scrawled on it is much much newer than 964 AD!

Not one! It was all still only latin.

**NO WRITING in 964 AD , except by latin scribes in latin!"

A few exceptions are 737 AD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A6dmon%27s_Hymn

Proof?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English_literature

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English

Basically 1150–1175 is when scraps of paper with english start appearing.

The first scraps were on wood, and were accounting records, the firs paper scraps after 1150 were also financial related (taxes).
