Just as you are the only one I have spoken to who insists that many N172s are not graded do to their variation in size, you are also the only one I've spoken to who thinks that "Elizabethan" is a reference to language and that Shakespeare wrote his plays in Modern English. I guess that Jay just proved that the other day with his usage of "methinks." He thought it was "Old English", you think it is "Modern English". I wonder how many hands would be raised in a fourth grade English class if the following question was asked, "Boys and girls -- how many here think that William Shakespeare wrote his plays in Modern English?"
What an absolutely fascinating theory!
