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.

Shakespeare's easily understood, especially if you pick up on the vocabulary. LOL, the English wouldn't understand a word of Middle English.

Yeah, I tried reading Chaucer untranslated once. Gave up quickly.
