Grammar lesson, language-history lesson, and wall-sized receipt—all in one.
This 18 × 24-inch poster combines the full “Axe me about proper English” setup with “Your correction is six centuries late,” the Chaucer citation, illuminated-manuscript lettering, and a procession of Canterbury pilgrims along the bottom.
It is made for English classrooms, linguistics departments, libraries, offices, and anyone who prefers their language arguments documented and mildly theatrical.
Chaucer’s Wife of Bath uses axe in the opening lines of her prologue. See the Middle English text preserved by the University of Michigan.
