I really want to see this research of his!

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 hour ago

I think you just did.

[–] Rhoeri 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Because that’s what you want. A “historian” that opens with:

“I don’t care what anyone says…”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t care what anyone says!

proceeds to talk at length and with much fervor about what he believes people said

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 11 hours ago

Imagine the length if he did care!

This is so insane I cannot take it seriously. What the absolute fuck. I am really hoping this not real.

It's not real, right? Right??

Do you doubt a historian on YouTube?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize his degree was from YouTube. Clearly his expertise is beyond mine and my lame university degrees. I shan't bother him with all my literal knowledge of the progression between Old and Middle English.

Charles forgot to take his pills.

[–] Diplomjodler3 1 points 50 minutes ago

What are you talking about? He took all the pills.

“I dont want to hear about the Welsh”

Well. Quite. Who does?

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 14 hours ago

I'm just glad he said thanks.

It’s like the Victorians who believed that Britain was founded by a Trojan named Brutus, because how could the mighty lion-race of Albion who conquered a third of the globe possibly be descended from a bunch of woad-painted savages rather than the noble civilisations of classical antiquity?
