That doesn’t answer my question, but at least you got to be a pedant.
Indeed.
Middle English (the previous incarnation) was less a single standardized language and more a general collection of dialects across Britain. There is one though that usually stands out but I can’t remember the name, but I think it was the preferred dialect of the court and if you spoke anything else you were a peasant.
But by Middle English is when you get a lot of the Norman influence from France working into Britain and adding to the pot.
English language history is fun.
Standardized spelling in English wasn’t invented until Noah Webster wrote his dictionary at the end of the 18th Century. Before then (and for a long time after), people spelled words every which way. (It didn’t help that English was a hodge-podge of Anglo-Saxon, French, Danish, Latin, and words borrowed from many other languages, each with their own spelling rules.)
Well when you read a lot of journal entries from the old-school intellectuals and explorers of the English world (eg. Francis Drake) you will find yourself stopping for a minute to ask yourself: “Is this guy really English?”
Could be a play how back then during or just before Shakespeare’s time even there wasn’t a lot of standardization to what was then the early form of Modern English so a lot was spelled phonetically. So it fits the way Luna speaks.
