... and let me repeat that I really enjoyed the article. Though Caxton's egges/eyren problem is just an example of language-internal diversity without emotional weight attached to either variant, "shibbolethisation" _does_ often take place between dialects (including sociolects, genderlects, etc.) of the same language.

I quoted the story from memory, since I couldn't remember where I
read it ("The Languages of England"?). Thanks for pointing that out.
One revision coming up.
