Honestly, i had no idea who this guy was until I looked him up. To my research, he was a famous Dutch renaissance humanist.

1) We use his contributions today such a ship latin words.

2) Becuase of the way he was?

3) He changed the literary world by creating words

Apologies that this is not detailed as the first!

His contributions to modern life are mostly seen through the translation of works that he made and the schools that he opened. Without his work there is a high chance that there wouldn't be as many literate people as there are nowadays.

He was considered revolutionary because of his belief that people should educate themselves and because of that he translated numerous books as well as written his own. The books were available to anyone who could read them and were important for educating people

He changed the world by using his knowledge and understanding of religion to translate and edit new editions of the bible as well as write his own critics of societal problems and present ideas on how they could be solved. He also worked to spread humanistic ideals and help people educate themselves as much as possible.
