question:
Were Shakespeare books translated to contemporary English? Which version is more common? Is there a rule to choose which books will have its language updated? Are poems updated too? From which year I should expect that books have a 'translation'?.
answer:
Shakespeare is considered Modern English, and is almost never rendered in contemporary English. It is usually edited for spelling and other reasons, however, depending on your edition. There is no 'freshness date' that triggers a translation, though. It depends in large part on which version of English is being cited. Much of Middle English (e.g., Chaucer) is updated to be readable by high-school students, but left intact in scholarly works and upper-level college texts. Old English texts (Beowulf, 'The Dream of the Rood', The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the like) are almost always translated, except for students of Old English (or Linguistics) who are studying the language.

question:
I have to write this on a website, which one is better? Are you looking for [...](description of our service)? You've come / You came to the right place!.
answer:
When you mention something that happened in the past, its timing isn't mentioned and is perhaps no significance to your mention, and you're mentioning it because of its significance in relation to something happening in the present then the present perfect is suitable. In this case, 'You came to the right place' isn't grammatically incorrect, but it doesn't express as explicitly what 'You've come to the right place' does: That, because of your having come here, you are now, in the present, in the right place (to receive good service, to eat a delicious meal, etc.). This use of the present perfect is summarized here.

question:
Consider this quote from Mark Twain: 'Familiarity breeds contempt - and children.' Does it mean having children is a bad thing? Could you explain what the children imply here?.
answer:
Two thoughts are run together: Familiarity breeds contempt {knowing people very well lets you see their faults} Familiarity breeds children {physical familiarity between the sexes leads to children} Hence Familiarity breeds contempt and children. A similar example of this particular way of playing with words (called Zeugma) is: 'You are free to execute your laws, and your citizens, as you see fit.'
