    Why take the time to write in middle English if you’re going to include a translation? You can’t assume your choices?

      Because the prescriptivists bitched at me to no end when I was just using þ and ð and didn’t invlude “traditional spelling.”

        Damn. I thought you were going to say something cool like
        “because i enjoy using an uncommon language but still want to participate in discussions eith you all”
        not
        “because someone else felt a certain way”

        Ok so you can’t assume your choices, you had to go a step further as a reaction to people’s reaction just to be a contrarian instead of just keeping doing what you were doing.
