shadower, 
Reading Pride and Prejudice (1813) is fascinating. English changed a lot.
I didn't know "call" used to mean "to visit", for example.
But the thing that really surprised me was when someone described a person as "condescending" and clearly meaning it as a positive thing.
At first, I thought it also had a different meaning (like "gay" being "happy"), but nah.
Lady Catherine is condescending AF and Mr Collins is just a fucking idiot.
But like, Lizzy will end up with Darcy right? (no spoilers)
