But a Language Shouldn't Change That Fast.
West, William W.
English Journal, v75 n8 p16-18 Dec 1986
Reports on the visit to Japan of a 60-year-old man who had last been there over 40 years ago. Relates several amusing anecdotes about language fluency and Japanese customs, mostly based on the changes a language undergoes in the passage of many years and the importance of an up-to-date vocabulary.
