How could you not be aware that spelling was not standardized at the time? Does this person know nothing about the history of the English language?

/s and :) should be obvious here, but I am including them anyway, just to be safe. I don't want to be accused of old fashioned trolling, and starting a flame war.

If so you should be denoting it with the appropriate ~= sign:
