Has anyone ever "deciphered" a paragraph?

Do you have any clue as to what you are basing this on, that it could be Middle English? Or did you just roll the dice on the language?
Now it's not about learning alone, you have to be able to put what you learn into practice.

These are very fair questions, and I would like to answer them, but this conversation more appropriately belongs, for now, in the "problematic...Germanic" thread where my discussion of the Middle English hypothesis began and still continues.
