    Honestly, whatever. France at this point had barely even begun its process of centralizing the French language. The idea of universal public schooling wouldn’t even be considered until years later, but wouldn’t be created until much later because France during this time be warring, and they be warring a lot. So not even there wasn’t an universal French language to proudly declare that yours and yours alone was grammatically correct, most people wouldn’t have even be properly taught to read. The guy should have gotten guillotined twice. Somehow.

      Of course, Monsieur le Marquis de SuddenDownpour.

      Also, it’s obviously inaccurate as he would have said it in French, not English. Duh!
