Bonus #35 - What might English be like in a couple hundred years?

We often look back at the origins of English words, but it's also weird to pause and realize that we're somewhere in the middle of the history of English, not at its ultimate destination. Which leads us to ask, well, what might this future English look like?

And what else have people projected into the future of English? We also talk about why the word for 'cool' tends to be unstable, what technology might have done to emoji use and how social media threads might be the birth of a whole new genre.
