Modern English Father.
Now that we have track upon the English languague it wold be neccesary speak about one of the greatest in this language, I'm talking about William Shakespare who is considered not only the best writtern in the English history but also the father of modern Eglish.
As we all know Shakespare wrote many trasendental plays that we still admiring nowadays because of the way he used to write. The use uf unimaginable metaphors for his ephoc was the trigger that sent him straig to the history. The complexity of his sotries and the language he used to write them was extraordinary.
The flexibity of his language could have been the predecessor for the contractions that we use nowaday and obvyously he made up many phrases that we still use in modern times. Such influence to modern language could be considered for sure as the beggining of what we know nowadays as English.

Dictionaries.
Have you ever used a dictionary? For sure I can say that at least once a dictionary help you to go out of prolems.
But waht's a dictionary?
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, a dictionary is:
1. A reference book containing an explanatory alphabetical list of words, either comprehensive or limited to a particular category, with information given for each word including meaning, pronunciation, etymology, and often usage guidance.
2. A book listing words of a language with translations into another languages.
3. A book listing words or other linguistic items, with specialized information about them: a medical dictionary for example.
4. Computers Sci. A list stored in a machine-readable from for reference by an automatic system.
As we could see we can use dictionaries for many purposes, from understand the meaning of a simple word to a complex and specialized meaning like a concept from medicine, law, psycology etc.
Then a dictionary help us to standarize a language and its use by giving us a specific meaning for each word taht we would use in the future or that we already use but in a wrong way. without dictionaries we would be back to the chaos that ancient people faced once, giving totally different meanings to a single words, writting as they wanted and undestanting as much as the could...
