Reis, I don't really believe you have much of a problem understanding those
"quaint & curious volumes of forgotten lore"- We know you're smart enough to
figure it out from context....

Dude! How can you even think that?
I think the changes in the language are like totally the schiznitz!
Of course, I do have "Old Fart" embroidered in red above the left
pocket of my work shirt.
But really, no matter what we would like, language is a living thing,
and it changes, all the time.
We probably could not understand most of what an american from 1776
said.
I know I can barely understand it when Thomas Pynchon writes it in
his book "Mason Dixon", anyway.
