Wikipedia says that you're wrong.

Professional scientist here (not in virology or biology). For those of you who aspire to do science, this is a great example of how not to write scientifically. One should aim for clarity, and refrain from adding words to make it sound fancy.

As an exercise, I will rewrite this word salad for clarity, while trying to keep the same meaning.

We have just started. We have had a few meetings and discussions with both scientists and sponsors. We are trying to find more sponsors, as well, to better fund the scientists. We are taking advice from the scientists as to how we can support their work.

There, bullshit trimmed away. It could use more content, but not grandiose verbiage.

What's your favorite whiskey, and why is it Lagavulin?

Everyone should have access to affordable healthcare

Access means jack shit. I have access to a local Ferrari dealership, but it doesn't do anything for me because I'm not rich.

What we need is Medicare for All, so I can go to a doctor or hospital without going bankrupt.

Chaucer is Middle English. The spelling and word usage is often updated in print editions, but even in the original, it's mostly recognizable. The pronunciation from what you would expect was wildly different due to the Great Vowel Shift.

Sample Excerpt:

But now, sire,—lat me se—what I shal seyn? A ha! by God, I have my tale ageyn. Whan that my fourthe housbonde was on beere, I weep algate, and made sory cheere, As wyves mooten, for it is usage, And with my coverchief covered my visage; But for that I was purveyed of a make, I wepte but smal, and that I undertake!

Beowulf came before the Norman Conquest of England, so most Latin and French based words are absent. It is noticeably more Germanic. The spelling is even more archaic.

Sample excerpt:

Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum,

þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,

hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.

Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,

monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,

egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð

feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,

weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,

oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra

ofer hronrade hyran scolde,

gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning.

The spelling looks exceedingly strange, but the last sentence you might be able to understand. (That was a good king!)
