I nominated it based in part on JS wolf's posting in # 5. And you have to remember that it's not written in modern English whether UK, Austraian, Canadian or US. It was published back in 1485 which makes it even older than the KJV of the Bible. And Mallory didn't invent the stories he translated and compiled them from French prose.
