@Ethan Elliot Not the Shakespearean English. I understood what you said but when reading it it feels like I'm loosing brain cells. I'm reading Macbeth for school and everythime I read it I feel both dumb and… how do I say this, for lack of better words, fancy. But how did you just use it like that teach me your ways. I sound like a child who just discovered how to talk whenever I try using Shakespearean English. 
What you said though actually makes sense, I try not to say anything hurtful so in the kindest way possible I think the person doesn't know English well enough. They got an a** crack translation from the internet and didn't pay mind to the significance of the name Nia. They probably listened to the pronunciation in English and spelled it wrongly as nier. I can see how they got the names wrong especially as when I was a child I would always spell phone as fone because to me back then only F can make that sound and the neir is also understandable if the person didn't know English from when they were little. Let's just chalk it up as the person doesn't know English and made a mistake cuz if they do know English then it is disrespect

@Red in 9th grade, when we had to do macbeth, our teacher randomly chose students to play the part of every character each day and I just so happened to be one of the people she would always pick because I could actually read it -.- in 10th grade when we read romeo and juliet, our teacher would have 1 student read everything out loud for 5 minutes before changing to another student. One day the person in front of me kept talking so I told him to shut up; the teacher blamed me for everything and had me read everything for the rest of the class in front of the class. Next day, the idiot in front of me did it again, once again I told him "I'm trying to listen" and the teacher blamed it on me... he told me since I seem to know everything that I might as well take the test now; pis*** off at being blamed each time I rebelled, took the test, got a 97% A and got the "If you just applied yourself" speech. I later found out that he had taught my brother, 2 of my cousins, and went to school with my father and his twin brother (all whom were trouble makers in some respect).

:p Shakespearean English is spoken in old english, which has a slight gramatical difference and word usage. Once you know this, you just have to image yourself on a stage, in front of an audiance, belching out your lines in as dramatic as a fashion as possible ^-^
