F66r question

[-JKP-]

My way of looking at things is based on looking at thousands of medieval manuscripts since 2007, in numerous languages, and reading many of them in Middle English, Latin, German, French, Danish, and Swedish.

I can also read a small amount of Greek, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and sometimes Hebrew if I work really hard at it, but I do not claim to know these additional languages, I can only read very basic words. Well, I guess I can read Dutch grammar too, it is similar to other germanic languages, but I'm not super good at Dutch.

I have also sampled more than 40,000 medieval letters. To sample them, you have to be absolutely sure you know what the letter is.


How many medieval manuscripts have you read?


You keep saying, "The dialect is correct," but that is because you are CHANGING the letters. You are not reading it. You are interpreting it to suit your hypothesis about the dialect. Then you are hunting up examples to prove your hypothesis and ignoring the rest, including the common conventions for how things are done. Good science means not making assumptions about what it is "supposed" to say.
