Jake,
You know what I find stunning?
That the Dutch language as it was is still spoken in areas in South Africa... the county Real South Africans (the language is like the Old Dutch as it was spoken in what we now know as the Netherlands), and you know what? The 2012 Dutch people can't understand a syllable of it anymore!
Personally I can not speak it (the Old Dutch I mean), but I love listening to it, I do understand SOME words and combinations of words from it, or at least I can fond logic in what the Old Dutch speaking South-Afrikaners say, but following conversations in the language is hard.
What I mean to say is that Old Languages are beautifull, subject to development, chnages, but like Shakesparian it 5is always a style of speaking that always will be existing, even when it is as old as the languages we talk about here!

I actually selected an article that was fair to Chick-fil-A as no other article displayed both sides. But, Dan Cathy is Chick-FIL-A. I was attempting to make sure that every one was aware of all angles. Cathy can step down, but he will he will still own, control Chick-Fil-A as it is his family owned business. Therefore, to be perfectly clear, it is Dan Cathy's family that owns Chick-Fil-A and it makes them richer by the day. I hope you now understand.

Yes TV in UK is the tube, and Channel is the Card. That should be correct! Not bad as I did not watch the tube. I was studying or on the Internet.
There are changes in Language in just 10 years. New variations in regional accents are detected in just a 10 years as well. In the USA there are words for a sandwich in a shape of a sub that you find at Subway. For instance, some call it a sub, Hoagie, Hero, grinder, Cuban sandwich, po'boy, torpedo, Italian sandwich, etc. All depends on where you live in the USA, or your ethnic background, even preference. Our world has become very diverse. Since the days of William Shakespeare, wouldn't you say that English has not changed? Perhaps, I find it easier to write in the style of Shakespeare. Thus, Shakespeare's style of English is easier.

> Dan Cathy is not only President of Chick-fil-A, he owns Chick-Fil-A. In addition, the actual company Chick-Fil-A donates a lot of money towards anti-gay causes. I actually selected an article that was fair to Chick-fil-A as no other article displayed both sides. But, Dan Cathy is Chick-FIL-A. I was attempting to make sure that every one was aware of all angles. Cathy can step down, but he will he will still own, control Chick-Fil-A as it is his family owned business. Therefore, to be perfectly clear, it is Dan Cathy's family that owns Chick-Fil-A and it makes them richer by the day. I hope you now understand.
