Modern English is everything from the late 17th century Great Vowel Shift onward. Blame linguists.

Yeah, I hate the word "modern". It's about a 50/50 that it's being used to say "now" or being used in a technical sense, which is referring to something that really isn't modern anymore. I hope everyone has learned their lesson that time moves on past them and not to use "modern" as part of a name for anything. The fact that "post-modern" is often used to describe things that aren't even new anymore makes it even worse.
