message to my dad,\ for example. but within just a few
years, people shortened text message to just text, and you
started to hear people saying things like \send me a text.\
eventually, people also started to use text as a verb, so
now you might say something like \text me later.\ these
changes to english happened in just a few years.

into the past? well, now imagine using it to travel to your
neighborhood 2,000 years in the future. what do you hear
now? are there words that sound foreign? are people
using familiar words in different ways? and what kinds of
words are they using to describe their technology? it might
not sound anything like the english you use today, but at
least now you know that languages change over time.
