what kind of language has the same word for 'to' and 'from' (not to mention 'into, onto, at' and 'against'?

this explains many things about modern english... but really! 'To' and 'From'. Utterly opposed meanings!

poor thing... I take it this is an OE word?
What is it?

to. with an elongated o, so it ALSO means 'too' but that one turns up as a different entry in the dictionary.

since what i'm translating is a sermon... the difference between 'to god' and 'from god' is non existent but it totally throws your sentence out if you guess wrong. And 'against God' would be even weirder :P

oh... that sounds like... fun
*shifty eyes*

fun... yes. there is potential for much havoc. If these didn't have to be handed in i'd have lots of evil with it.

LOL
you should have this eeeeeevil with it anyway - just make a copy of it and once you've handed the actual version in, play around with the copy and submit it to the head of your church
=D

then there's my history presentation, which is going to include a diagram of who was converting and/or sleeping with whom in the Anglo Saxon church... someone's already suggested i present it to the chaplain as some kind of amusement :P

oh, I'm sure said chaplain would have a gay ol' time with it.
I'm sure you'll be richly rewarded in the afterlife for your great attempt to amuse the Church

it's only fair, given how much the church amuses me :)

mmmm... sugar sludge at the bottom of the teacup...

mmmm... with apple flavoured gum and strawberry hearts...
*drools at the saccarinity of it all*

apple flavoured gum? in TEA?

not necessarily in tea... but with it? definitely!

hmmm... since i don't eat gum, i'll take your word for it.

I don't usually either
in fact, today is the first time in... I don't know how long, its been so long
