Haha well that might be because no-one has to read medieval Dutch. I had to and detested it. Dutch is such a lame language :P

Oh, come on, you know you enjoyed reading Erasmus' works in the original Dutch translations from 1500.

I can't see how it's harmful though.


Problem is that you are using a modern form of Dutch, combined with the old case system, which is quite anachronistic. My advise to you is you'd better use modern Dutch and drop the cases and all other attempts to sound ancient.

Even using the full case system, the Dutch would sound anachronistic? :P
