Thoughts on Anglish, high and low

From looking over the many "posts" in this nook of Reddit, I think there are a few unalike ways of thinking about Anglish, which I have listed below. I bid you all forgive me if this ground has already been trodden by earlier Redditers.

The kinds of Anglish seem to be as follows:

Low Anglish

For the folks who write in Low Anglish, the goal of Anglish is to make a kind of English that is taken almost fully from Old English roots, BUT that also can be understood by speakers of today's English. I myself am wielding Low Anglish right here.

High Anglish

For the folks who write in High Anglish, the goal of Anglish is to make a kind of English that is taken fully from Old English roots, heedless of whether today's English-speakers can understand it. The Anglish Wordbook (holding words like "forebisen," "outhwit," and "wonly") gives a taste of High Anglish.

What do you folks think about these two kinds of Anglish? Are there more than the ones I listed here?
