The history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD. These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Now we travel in time, two thousand and eighteen years in the future, to the year of 2023.

A young boy enters middle school. He starts a project on Gimkit. He wonders, what is the best game to make in Gimkit? He searches long and far. He finally comes to the forums!

Oh, how he wishes to sign up! He tries, and fails to use his school account. He tries using a home email, but he needs verification!

Now we travel in time, now just 6 hours. He goes home, and signs up, but it takes him an hour to decide what his username should be. He decides to use the easiest non-taken username. A, B, C, and D!
