I love this.

And aftermarket parts would be readily available.

If anybody wants to get something going like this let me know. I know manufacturing.

For you English nerds.

In 2000 a blogger goes to B&B. And senses something odd ..

But this is not a mystery tale. It is a history of English. Each passage is written in the English of 100 years previously. All are English. How far back until you can't understand?

How far back in time can you understand English?

An experiment in language change

1900 and 1800 easy. By 1700 getting archaic but still recognizably English. 1600, I read enough Shakespeare to be familiar with Elizabethan English. 1500 is late Middle English. Took concentration but managed. Got most of 1400, general gist of 1300. By 1200 forget it. Closer to Old than Middle English. Maybe a German speaker would understand better since Old English derived from Saxon.

How's your English?

I made it to the 1400's......but I was arrested, tried and then drawn and quartered for speaking a foreign language no one had ever heard of in the 1300s.....

I think I just broke Google Translate. I posted year 1000 into it, and it said it was Norwegian and didn't translate it, lol.

"He's a witch! BURN HIM!"

I knew they were hollerin' something but I couldn't understand the words.......drawn and quartered, burned at the stake, it all sounded like a mouthful of marbles to me.......

There are letters in Middle English that no longer exist. Something that looks like f is s sound and something that looks like a p is th sound. Since I already knew u and v were interchangeable once I figured out the letters it got easier. As notes at end explain, English has been consistent for 300 years, changed slowly for several centuries but changed drastically around 1200. In biology called punctuated equilibrium. Periods of rapid evolution followed by extended stability.
