This is English. Do you understand it? Can you read it? Could you write it?

The point is language changes. The way we write and spell changes. Some people might call it progress. Or more eloquently:

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
