Just like how we view some works from the 1600s as old.
I don’t even wanna think about that the language would be so weird in the future
can you imagine an entire history class 200 years from now having to research TikTok “documents” and stuff for assignments
That’s wild
no it would be labeled as something else and the stuff from the 1600s would still be old english
That makes sense
No, slang is so fleeting there’s virtually no way enough information involving this particular variation of slang will exist long enough to be remembered 400 years from now.
The main thing we know old English from is literature and plays, the equivalent most likely being tv and digital documents. Niether of which use slang,
The old English of today is that of scholars and nobles, the old English of tommorow isn’t gonna be content farms and 10 year olds
We don’t research the slang of the 90’s so no, maybe a single term will stick but it’s likely that alot of brainrot will just fade away into a distant memory
no, there’s tons of ancient slang that we don’t consider to be such
