Old English is not “really a very old version of German.” Old English and Old High German were both West Germanic languages but descended separately from Proto-Germanic, their shared proto-language. It is inaccurate to say that separate languages from one family are the same. https://www.britannica.com/topic/West-Germanic-languages

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1816538351383498815

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
