I went with an academically grounded account of the Great Vowel Shift in Chapter E of WQNU, rather than my pet theory that it was all a joke that got out of hand.
DavidI've posted some good books I discovered via Bluesky. This great wee book was a youtube find. It's full of rabbit holes of language including an intelligible, and so to me interesting, summary of the Great Vowel Shift. My thanks to @norsebysw.bsky.social for having @dannybate.com on his channel.
