Not bad, I'd give this a C. Strange to hear 'bunch' being used together with 'invasions' from an educated person, what's wrong with using the correct collective noun?
William the Bastard did not take the British throne.
I'm astonished that you said ass for arse!! Ass is a donkey. Arse is the English dialect for arsch. Perhaps you could explain how this simple and ancient word became so annoyingly and badly corrupted accross the herring pond. Thanks.

European languages where created by the Church from ancient Greek and Latin, that is 95% Greek! There is a book with 170.000 Greek words of the English language! Add to that the Greek-Latin words and there is English!

The grammar's assuredly OFF, but I just got my dictionary out, and am playing around.

Min nama is Aaron. Ic eom 34 ieldu. Ic waes cild ond Ic eom an icestre. Min gehyrde in winter waes andfenge. Min cynn waes fram Kent. Min fader waes iethgeorn, min moeder waes iethgeorn. We handlian geoguth.
Note: Some of these words were originally written w/ runes--runes that I aint got. Thusly, I substituted them w/the modern ‘th’ spelling.
