How has the English language changed since the turn of the century?

Asked by Skaggfacemutt (9820points) March 24th, 2011

There is nothing more annoying than watching a movie set at the turn of the century and hearing the actors talk as we do today. My example is in “Titanic.” Did people in 1912 really say “you guys”, flip people off, or say “shut up?” Maybe I am wrong, but is this really historically accurate?
