What's the rationale for having this article live at 'Old English' rather than 'Anglo-saxon'? My very subjective, imprecise sense is that unlike Middle English, academics usually refer to the language as Anglo-saxon (this despite the fact that the standard linguistic abbreviation for Anglo-saxon is "OE"). Is this impression incorrect? [[User:Brian P. Long|Brian P. Long]] 07:59, 29 April 2008 (CDT) | |||

Old English v. Anglo-Saxon
What's the rationale for having this article live at 'Old English' rather than 'Anglo-saxon'?
