missmolly324:  @chris - Cool find! However, I still stand by my assertion. I've always been under the impression that Piers Plowman is the earliest known usage of English for literature (instead of French, which was the language used in aristocratic and educated circles - coloquial English was for the rubes). It's my impression that this example is an official use of the English language, which is a category of its own. 2 weeks ago

chris:  ah, I meant not to contest your assertion, just to share. :] 2 weeks ago

missmolly324:  I figured you'd know better than to do that when it concerns history :-) 2 weeks ago

chris:  excellent clarification, though, I didn't quite consider the subtlety of your original comment 2 weeks ago

missmolly324:  It looks, though, like it might be modern English. What I was referring to was middle English. Even more subtlety! 2 weeks ago
