Mayhap, naught and out of place poetic dialogue

[Kazrah]

Old English has very little in common with Welsh.

Okay then, it sounds like Welsh. Otherwise, fair enough.

[Vstarstruck]

"Mayhap" and "naught" still see a fair bit of use today, and I don't find them nearly as offensive as the use of "ever" to mean always. That one will ever sound forced to me, in any setting.

what are you talking about? none of this happens

You can still talk old english and not overuse words, and old english can be spoken casually without having that poetic feel to it. I don't want it to be modern either

^ that

The issue is the overuse of a word to the point it becomes obnoxious, did you even read the thread?

As a side thought, "Pray return to the Waking Sands" was overused to the point of wanting to bash your head into a wall... /shudder

That one is not bad because of the wording, but because it is so annoyingly inconvenient to travel to the Waking Sands.

'must needs' always gets me.

I think it's kind of like George Lucas dialogue, it looks fine written down, but sounds weird when it's spoken.

I'd rather colloquial flavor text than a character telling me about how freakin lit the Quicksand gets when Momodi's feeling fresh to death.

yes i read the thread, and in my area where i live it is still somewhat common to the point where i don't find it obnoxious, its like if some character said y'all all the time to me thats obnoxious and to others it isn't, thus my joke.
