Hello.
I have some curiosity about Shakespeare.
One day, I found a short comedy clip and also found a sentence from it saying,
'Amest I bovvered?'.
At first I found it very strange and soon I realized that it's like an Old English thing.
So, I thought maybe I can find this things in pieces like shakespeare(although I can't read) because that was written in almost 400 years ago; But when I read anything like shakespeare, I could only find differences in grammar and 'thy thee art thou' things..sometimes some different spellings and unfamiliar-looking words.
Except these, it was almost like a modern english to me,personally.
What happened? Or maybe have I been just reading an modified version?(like everywhere in the internet?)
