Twaddle! Chaucer was writing in the Middle English period. Modern
English followed hundreds of years later.


Chaucer is generally reckoned to be the first author who wrote
in modern English. Most literary readers can read Chaucer; few
can read Middle English.


As I said before twaddle! It still does not make it modern English.
