> We do not need to distinguish Early Modern English from English.

I draw your attention to the existence of school editions of Shakespeare
with the left-hand pages in the original EModE (with modernized
orthography, not First Folio orthography) and the right-hand pages in
20th-century English.  There are a *lot* of people who can't read EModE.

Original line from The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold:
"Only on Barrayar would pulling a loaded needler start a stampede toward one."
English-to-Russian-to-English mangling thereof: "Only on Barrayar you risk to
lose support instead of finding it when you threat with the charged weapon."
