It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post. Read it and notice where you start to struggle. Notice where you give up entirely.

How far back in time can you understand English?

It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.

"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

@EUCommission

It's funny, that you post this in #English and solely in English. Which is the official language only in two member nations, #Irelande and #Malta, and even there second to #Irish and #Maltese.

I know, that my #Basque and #Catalan friends will not be happy: But how about declaring #Spanish THE official language of the #EU? It is the second largest language in number of native speakers after #Mandarin, and it's nine times the native speakers of English in the EU.
