The first English printing press, in the 15th century, was operated by Belgians who didn'tknow the language and made numerous spelling errors (such as "busy" in place of "bisy"). And because they were paid bythe line, they sometimes padded words with extra letters; "frend," for example, became "friend." In the next century, othernon-English speakers in continental Europe printed the first English Bibles, introducing yet more errors. Worse, thoseBibles were then copied, and the writing became increasingly corrupted with each subsequent rendition. English spellingbecame a chaotic mess, and successful attempts to simplify the spelling after that were offset by events that made thelanguage harder to learn, such as the inclusion of many alternate spellings in Samuel Johnson's influential Englishdictionary.
