Im Jest Sane

 


“Middle English demonstrates the need for standardized spelling and usage because during that period, there was a significant lack of consistent spelling across different regions and writers, with the same words often spelled multiple ways, making reading and understanding written text challenging due to the lack of a set standard. This issue was largely resolved with the introduction of printing, which helped solidify consistent spellings in modern English.” Asking people to try to use they’re, there, and their correctly is not nit-picking or one-upmanship, but an attempt to maintain readability. Otherwise, in five hundred years we could be back to this.
