Time traveling back into the past times is almost always a bad idea . Everybody is racist , everything is soiled , and you ’ll probably get some direful disease and/or get stabbed with a steel that everyone is carry but you . The world is by and large dumber and worse off . And on top of that ! You might not even be able to understand the English they ’re address .
words interchange over the old age and what was English before voice like a foreign language to English speakers now . Like , could you transform this English from The Canterbury Tales from 1389 ?
“ Whan that Aprill , with his shoures sooteThe droghte of March hath perced to the rooteAnd bath every veyne in swich licour , Of which vertu engendred is the flour ; ”

That ’s just a piffling over 600 years and I ’m lost . I intend , I recognise some countersign . Sort of . Not really , I just see intimate letter . Yestervid present us how far back in time we could go where we can still understand English in the video below .
Basically , we ’re by all odds screwed on slang ( batty fang means a beating , pigarlik is bald ) , all have sex on pronunciation in certain eras ( tea is pronounced tay ) , and absolutely have no chance at Old English ( where this is the beginning of the Lord ’s Prayer : Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum ) .
