If you really want to have a blast at the awful English language, look
for something called "law French", a language understood only by English
lawyers and very much alive until at least the 18th century. It makes
modern legaleeze sound simple, although still difficult to read because

The computer analysis of Shakespeare’s vocabulary conducted some 20 years ago

Well, it does have to do a bit with lute music.
There was a theory that the music published by Le Sage de Riche
(Breslau, 1695) was not composed by him because the author of that
theory couldn't find further evidence for the existence of Le Sage.

One correction. [Note to self: Don't quote from memory!]
The respective quote about Le Sage reads as follows:

Well, you advanced a particular (erroneous) argument, which I

I hereby propose the following theory: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

Law English is still largely French: words like estopp
I do so love the pointless bickering. It buoys our spirits and makes
