Olde English
Is there a website that allows me to translate into Ye Olde English?
For an English assignment, I must write a mock article for the 'London News' newspaper, regarding the play 'Macbeth'.
I was wondering if there was a website that allowed me to write this article in English and then simply translate it into Ye Olde English?
Thank you

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a public house in St Albans, Hertfordshire, which is one of several that lay claim to being the oldest in England. It currently holds the official Guinness Book of Records title, but Ye Olde Man Scythe in Bolton, Lancashire has claimed it is older by some 234 years. Another contender is Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham which is claimed to date from the 12th century. The main structure is freestanding and has an octagonal appearance, attributable to its original use as a pigeon house. It has been added to over the years but the original timberframed structure is clearly visible. It was originally located close to St Albans Cathedral (when it was St Albans Abbey) and was moved to the present site after the dissolution of the Abbey in 1539. Its foundations are even older, dating from around 793. It is thought that there are tunnels running between the cathedral and the pubs beer cellars which were once used by monks.

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is an old public house in the City of London, England, located at 145 Fleet Street, on Wine Office Court. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is one of a number of pubs in London to have been rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. There has been a pub at this location since 1538. While there are several older pubs which have survived because they were beyond the reach of the fire, or like The Tipperary on the opposite side of Fleet Street because they were made of stone, this pub continues to attract interest due to the curious lack of natural lighting inside which generates its own gloomy charm. Some of the interior wood panelling is nineteenth century, some older, perhaps original. The vaulted cellars are thought to belong to a 13th century Carmelite Monastery which once occupied the site. The entrance to this London pub is situated in a narrow alleyway and is very unassuming, yet once inside visitors will realise that the pub occupies a lot of floor space and has numerous bars and gloomy rooms. In winter, an open fireplace is used to keep the interior warm. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

It was built by Aaron Sheldon from Dorset, Vermont, in 1790, making it the oldest inn in the state of Vermont.

Old English
English Usage: Whilst Or While?
Let me begin by saying that there are a number of people who will always insist on using whilst over while. Now, while (whilst) they are perfectly free to choose their own words because there is no 'rule' about these things, those who insist on whilst often do so according to an misinformed understanding that it is 'better', 'correct', 'more formal' or 'superior' to plain old, common while. But is it?
The while/whilst dilemma is a funny one. It is one of these cases where the option has for many become a hard-and-fast rule. The unyielding whilst-brigade will often insist on changing other peoples' whiles into whilsts, often together with a ticking off or two for the overt display of linguistic tardiness.
Before I delve further into this linguistic dark matter, the Americans in the room are excused: the use of whilst, according to the OED, is 'chiefly British'. So if you are writing for a US audience just stick to while. You may leave now.
Now, there may still be one or two Americans still in the room. This will undoubtedly be because you, too, are followers of the almighty 'whilst-is-better' philosophy. I may sound patronising, and perhaps I am, but the tone is no more harmful than being on the receiving end of an earful of "it should be whilst, not while".
So, what is this whilst/while business all about? Who is 'right'? First, it is not a case of wrong spelling, both words are spelt ('spelled' for the Americans in the class) correctly; that is not the problem. Nor is it an Americanism versus Briticism thing. Third, it isn't necessarily a case of old versus new -- not the whole story anyway. The main problem is one of evolution, but part of the problem is one of consistency.
My old OED from 1930 writes: 'whilst less usual form of while'. My 2007 version of the OED describes whilst as 'chiefly British' and a word that dates back to Middle English (mid-1000s to mid-1400s). It derives from the word whiles + t, in the same way as against. The origin of against is: again + -s + -t = again + adverbial genitive + superlative.
The -s comes from the adverbial genitive and the -t is thought to be associated with superlatives such as amongst. The word 'among' comes from the Old English (mid-400s to mid-1100s) ongemang, which itself is made from on (meaning in) and gemang (meaning assemblage). Put another way, we can turn the word bad into the adverbial superlative baddest.
Let's get back to our esteemed friend whilst. The OED writes that it comes from whiles + t. What does whiles mean? It sounds terribly old fashioned. Both the 1930 and 2007 OED describe it as an archaic form of while. So, in other words, our modern while used to be the word whiles -- which sometimes had a -t attached to it.
Other words of a similar type at the time were somewhiles and otherwhiles. I can't say that I've ever heard those words being used with much frequency of late, not even by the most formal of English speakers. In case you do decide to adopt them into everyday English, somewhiles means 'formerly' and otherwhiles means 'at times'.
If you haven't guessed by now, I am a fan of while. I do so because I accept the fact that while is the modern word for what was somewhiles whilst or whiles. And I am not alone.
There is also another reason, and this is perhaps the reason why the majority of international media organisations and publishers the world over choose while over whilst (I'm not saying that there aren't those that do). This second reason has to do with, not 'correctness' or degrees of 'formality', but consistency. The problem with choosing - or insisting on using - whilst is that once you've done so you also have to take a similar position towards amidst, amongst and unbeknownst. Start insisting on whilst and you'll soon find that by always using whilst you'll also have to always use amongst. If not, why not?
Amidst, amongst and unbeknownst are also unnecessarily archaic and stuffy. They are, in other words, old fashioned.
The problem with using whilst is it is simply an archaic form of a word kept alive longer than necessary. There was a time when instead of think, we used to trow. There was a time when verbs in the third-person singular were -(e)th when written but -(e)s when spoken. There was also a time when whiles and whilst were used. But no more.
Look up amidst in the OED and what you'll find 'literary variant of amid'. Herein (which, by the way, is a formal word) lies the truth behind the reluctance to let whilst die a graceful death: it's what Fowler and Fowler labelled the amateurism of 'conscious archaism'.
In The King's English (1906) H G and F W Fowler wrote: 'It is conscious archaism that offends, above all the conscious archaisms of the illiterate.' Archaisms are, according to them, 'deliberate ornaments' used by the amateur writer. An 'educated' writer chooses archaisms that are 'less hackneyed' than the amateur, less frequently than the amateur and to a strict allowance. The amateur, on the other hand, 'indulges us with his whole repertoire'.
The problem of 'conscious archaism' may not be a new phenomenon, but bad writing often ultimately comes down to an incongruence of style. The professional writer, publisher, copywriter or journalist will deploy language that is appropriate to the task. The professional will also be aware of traps of inconsistency that lurk in spoken and written English. The professional will not insist on peppering his or her writing with flowery archaisms for the sole purpose of wanting to impress.
The best reason not to use whilst is a simple one: there is simply no need. RIP whilst.
