I get so angry with articles like this.

Has the english language changed in the last fifty years?

Why are these folks always making excuses. If the kids worked on their grammar and spelling, life would be a lot easier for them.

Funny how that works.

Yes, it has. It changed in the fifty years before that, and the fifty years before ...

Shakespeare is still readable, as are the King James and Douay-Rheims Bibles, but none of these represent the way we English speakers speak today.

Chaucer is barely recognizable.
