@gahlearner@Saposcat I also find the dynamic quality of language fascinating. Changes in English over several hundred years mean we can still use numerous Shakespearean phrases verbatim, while some of his rhyming couplets...er...no longer rhyme.
As a native English speaker who can speak just enough German to procure a room and a hot meal, I'm curious...what changed in the language rules, and who has the power to effect that sort of change? The "language keepers" sound ominous. 🙂
