"mildly inaccurate simplification" is a long way to say "clickbait."
- TallGuyShort 7y agoYou really think that simplifying to Elizabethan has a significant impact on how interesting the article sounds and to whom? As if there was an intentional decision to deceive people who are excited to hear about Elizabethan English only to find out it's not quite Elizabethan English. What sinister scheming!

- TallGuyShort 7y ago... so?
- justin66 7y agoTruly, using Elizabethan English in headlines to draw unwitting readers in is the plague of the modern internet. I wish it would stop.
