Chaucer and Middle English

The idea
Chaucer wrote in Middle English, which a modern reader can partly follow. That partial readability is the difficulty: the text looks approachable and contains words that have moved or vanished. Unit three's whole procedure was built for exactly this situation.
In practice
Partly readable, and that is the trap.
Where people slip
Unit three was built for this.
