Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).
The Spelling of our Tongue was in the main ſettled ere the eighteenth Century, & the Grammar has ſuffer'd but little Alteration ſince. Yet before this happy Settlement, things were exceeding ſtrange.
In Shakeſpeares dayes, ſpelling was much more variable, & you ſhall finde notable differences in the grammar: "thou" could bee intimate or inſulting, depending vpon whom you ſayd it to; to chooſe amiſse had conſequences.

This evening, 56 years after the Apollo 11 moon landing, I spoke with the astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Together we shared the memory of a historic feat, a testimony to human ingenuity, and we reflected on the mystery and greatness of Creation.

The Pope's childhood house in Dolton is currently for sale for $199,900. – at Chicago, IL
One thing people may be unaware of from Pope Francis’ funeral is that there is a church partially modeled after Santa Maria Maggiore on a roughly 2/3 scale in Waterbury CT, of all places.
