I'm sure if he would take a little effort, like we do for him, he could read the language but would need a generous list of annotations.


Are you saying you find Shakespeare readable or Neal Stephenson readable? I'm not asking if you find either of those readable. And I'm not asking if someone 500 years in the future would find Neal Stephenson readable. I'm asking if you'd think WS would find NS readable.
