Perhaps I need to clarify: those corrections in brown over the red text are not mine.  They are there on the manuscript itself.  So it is not me calling them errors, it was the Proofreading scribe.

In Post-Post-Post-Medieval manukeyboardscripts, one often see "their" spelled as "there", "it's" spelled as "its", "you're" as "your"...  Should we see those "variants" as the (written) English language changing, or as errors made by people who are not completely fluent in it?

All the best, --stolfi
