A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping
the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church
by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from
copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes
to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone
made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be
picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the
subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for
centuries, but you make a good point, my son."He goes down into
the dark caves underneath the monastery
Where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked
Vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go
By and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing,
"We missed the "R" ! , we missed the "R" !"

Languages are alive and are in consistent flux. people at present do no longer communicate the comparable as they did a hundred years in the past everywhere. New issues come into existance (including there would have been no be conscious for computing gadget interior the 1700's that could propose what they are at present). New definations are further usual (like "bling" to illustrate now especially connotations ability lots extra desirable than something vibrant). each and every next era expresses themselves in a distinctive way from the final one (style of like track varieties) and changing the spelling (and pronouncation) of words is one thank you to precise themselves. Take words like Honour and colour to illustrate. those days that is purfectly okay to spell them without the u's.
