"Near this place William Caxton has set up the first printing press in England.
Caxton and the English language
He has translated a large number of works in English, by performing much of the translation. Its main guiding principle in the translation was an honest desire to provide the most linguistically exact replica of foreign language texts in English, but the editorial plan quickly and his skill as a translator often inadequate led to the wholesale transfer of French words in English and many misunderstandings.Caxton is known to have standardized English (ie, omogeneizzò regional dialects) in the press. This has facilitated the expansion of the English vocabulary, the regularization of inflection and syntax, and a widening gap between the spoken and the written word.
It states that the spelling of "ghost" with the silent letter h was adopted by Caxton because of the influence of the habits of the Flemish spelling.
