H.L. Mencken translates the Declaration of Independence into American English

[Permalink]

By any chance, did Mencken also translate the Second Amendment into more modern American English? The message having gotten through to me clearly more or less, a whole lot of people seem to have trouble parsing it.

He’s an intellectual; ergo, his translation wouldn’t parse for a certain citizen group.

Who the hell talks like that?
