1000 years alone is a wildly long time for language. Granted, written language and education are more accessible than ever, so I imagine language evolution will be significantly slower than it once was, but still I found this short of English over the past 1000 years to be really interesting

Have you seen how fast slang is evolving currently? I can't even imagine translating something like "chat, am I cooked?" to my grandma.
Also on a side note; have you noticed the rise in lisps?
"Hey folks, am I in trouble?"
Riddle me this, Lads: do I find myself in a pickle?
