I'm trying to remember a fantasy book I read in the 90's. Some guy was sent back in time and became apprenticed to a mage. I remember he was kind of a screw up and ended the book fighting a huge worm/centipede. It felt like it was part of a series. I realize now as an adult it may have been a self insert, but I'd still like to know what it was.

I've got a weird one. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. All I remember is a bit of dialogue. Someone is commenting on the state of language being simplified over time. He remarks that people in the future may not be able to understand their more complex language. 'Someday a person may be unable to comprehend the discussion we are having at this moment.' Or something similar.

That's it exactly. Thank you very much. I was reading the appendix on Newspeak and didn't see it so thanks for finding it.

There was a fantasy book I remember from when I was a kid. I remember the main character had been sent back in time/another dimension and had become apprenticed to a wizard. The wizard lends him magic/mana to cast some spells from time to time. It was a light-hearted book from what I remember. It ended with him fighting a giant worm or centipede I think. I also think it was part of a series.
