I know they are like SVMlight, but I don’t remember that format. Words are indexes, then it is a doc per line, but I don’t remember the specifics.

People are just really really stupid I guess.
And you are forgiven the Capslock haha.

I’m totally in love in the sound of OE, but am not able to make up any sentence on my own. Thanks a lot in advance ;)

I believe there is a horizontal accent line over the “o” in Leoda and over the first “a” in geardagum. I am also looking for the Modern English-to-Old English translation of the phrase, “Love in days gone by”. Can you please help?
Many thanks!
Diane
