For anyone wondering "habiliment" is an archaic term for clothing or outfit. I had to look it up.

Sounds French. E-mail from Haiti, perhaps?

Apparently, being coherent is not a job requirement.

I had thought Asian, but with the ‘cheque’ in there, could be.

I pasted the first sentence into Google.

The very first hit? Google Translate! Even Google is perplexed by this.

Actually, the “thee”s and “thou” type stuff is early modern english. Exemplified by Shakespeare. Believe it or not, all Shakespeare words are still in our dictionary.

Middle english - Chaucer. Recognizable, but you’ll need a glossary. About a third of the words no longer used. Many different spellings. Reading it out loud you will sometimes find yourself speaking a perfect english accent due to the phonetics of the spelling.

Old english is anglo-saxon, see Beowulf. This is english before the norman invasion and is effectively a “foreign” language.

Behold the fields upon which my f#cks have been sown. See with thine own eyes that they are barren.

That should serve as an adequate reply.

“Ya’ll shall not be obliged to transact with soggy boxes.”

Pretty sure that’s guaranteed by the Constitution.

Sorry. Early modern english and redneck.

Speaking of thee and thou, you sound like you might know this answer. I read somewhere that there was a Norse? letter for ‘th’ that resembled a ‘Y’, and that when typesetting began, a ‘Y’ was often used for it, so we ended up with ‘Ye Olde..., but would have been pronounced ‘The’. Any idea about the veracity of that theory?

This is the best laugh I’ve had in days. Do you have a Navajo friend that could respond for you?

I read somewhere that scammers actually prefer messed up wording. An aware reader will catch the mistakes, and be on alert. The scammers don’t want to deal with those folks anyway.

Scammers want to deal with folks who are not so sophisticated. Those folks are much easier to swindle.

I thank thee for thine kind attention in the matter of huffing soggy boxes of comestibles to y'all's pantries. Please to butter my nates and call me a biscuit. While I wouldst not tarry to address the fulsomeness of thine offer I must confess that my humble person is happier than a pig in feces in retirement. Bless thine heart. I am,

Thy humble and obedient servant...

You’ve been recruited by Qanon.
