An experiment in language change

Very entertaining. I’m totally lost around 1400. I don’t even recognize 1200 as English lol.

    From the article:

    They’re both performances of a sort: the 2000s protagonist is performing for his blog’s audience, so the tone is chatty and personal. The 1800s protagonist, with the mind of a Georgian diarist, is performing for posterity, so he philosophizes.

    I thought that was interesting.
