If friend kaywoody would get aboard, I'd joke about bein' in school back then, chips flyin' about from our stone tablets.
Fern salad, an' hard boiled dinosaur eggs pack in our mammoth skin lunch bags.
Remember then days Bob?
Ahhh!!! The "salad days" of our youth Richard!

Just as one bit that people consistently misunderstand is the famous line from Romeo and Juliet, when J says "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" and today's witless wits think she's asking where he is. Back then, "wherefore" meant "why" and she was bemoaning the fact that R was from a family feuding with hers.
If it were written today, she might ask, "How come you're Romeo?" (And the witless ones might answer "I drove." )
Not sure where to place the blame for this one, but the absolute, f'ing stupidest-sounding example of this is the toothless, drooling, "graduated high school" in place of the correct "graduated from high school". I can only surmise that said high school must not have had much in the way of English requirements for graduation.
Agreed. When I hear that I imagine something like: "Billy Bob was the first in our family to graduate high school". Sadly, you even see it in semi-formal writing like announcements or news stories.
