Except that I don't think Jon was referencing Old English (and the capital O should be used for clarity). He said, specifically, "olde English" which I take as a tongue in cheek reference to English that's not the modern vernacular. I thought his meaning quite clear, even though I don't agree with him. He also specifically mentioned having to read Chaucer, so that part of the lecture seems unnecessary.
