I'll ask again.

When was this golden age, of the English language?

You can bet the majority of English people didn't speak it.

Whenever it was supposed to be.

Besides, as a people, we didn't win everything from Agincourt, to the two World Wars, because we knew when to dot the i's, and cross the t's.
