I am vexed. I have tried to view this thread with detachment, but find I must vent a little. What kind of weakling considers these words archaic? The English language is a beautiful thing and it exasperates me that the tyranny of ignorance threatens to emasculate it. Perhaps a little food will restore my tranquility. I'm famished.
I agree. And the guy that wrote this has waaaaaaay too much time on his hands. Maybe the authour would benefit from some of the Word Power tests from Readers Digest. Geeze!
The same kind of weakling who considers "alot" and "alright" to be words, and would conflate "amuse" and "bemuse."
Don't even get me started on grammar and spelling. I could go on for DAYS.
