    Bet you a dollar he doesn’t actually know what Middle English even looks like.

      I would not be at all surprised if he thought that was the language Shakespeare used.

      Because I have seen Early Modern English called Middle English sooooo many times.

        Shakespeare’s easily understood, especially if you pick up on the vocabulary. LOL, the English wouldn’t understand a word of Middle English.
