My inner linguist wants to see him more confused when people use terms/expressions/even grammar invented centuries after his time that he would have no context for understanding, but... ...the writers probably don't want to deal with that shit.

He did say 'most of what you say is jibberish to me' to Abby, which made me think about, yes, most of modern English *would* be jibberish to someone from his era, just in how we use words now, and make nouns into verbs and things.

It's not even about centuries, but decades - over in Avengers fandom, I can't help but pity poor Steve, who probably knows what individual nouns and verb-endings mean yet would be largely confused as fuck as to what people are saying when they put those two together in the 21st century, and he's "only" from the 1940's.

(Hell, I'm an incredibly young person growing up in this century and generation, and I still sometimes have to look up verb'd nouns...and yet, I just turned the noun 'verb' into a verb/verbal-noun which a whole 'nother level of linguistic meta I'll just not jump into, lest we all get a headache...)
