  1. Due to its rising popularity in formal use in many Indian documents, "erstwhile" is less archaic than you might have supposed? #archaic #language #ngram

  2. "Today you can buy an honest to goodness science fiction dream machine" #archaic

  3. Glossary from Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem (Boston, USA, 1892), trans. John Lesslie Hall (1856–1928), Professor of English History and Literature at the College of William & Mary. #literature #English #poetry #archaic #obsolete #language

  4. Hugh Downman's The Land of the Muses: a Poem in the Manner of Spenser (1768) helpfully includes a Glossary #literature #English #poetry #archaic #obsolete #language

  5. John Barbour's THE BRUCE: "the poem now presented to the reader for the first time, in it's genuine ancient dress, has already gone thro' about twenty editions in Scotland since the year 1616" #Scots #Scotland #literature #history #epic #archaic

  6. @2legged

    Our #ukgovernment has been #corrupt at least since the times of Pepys. Half the ships used for hulks on the thames were rotten though sold as good quality.

    #outsourcing corruption then was the same as for #ppi recently

    The #corruption will continue to worsen while we have this medieval and #archaic house of #lords. The house of #commons is at least #elected, even though many of the #members are abject liars and are probably worse thieves than dick turpin ever was. #ukpol

  7. Hmm. Did I find an entry on Wiktionary that needs updating?

    en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gest#No

    The scan on the right is from the 1640s, the citations on the left are a mere 40-50 years earlier.

  8. Another word that's gone out of fashion (in printed texts) is BESEECH. Nowadays you'll mostly find characters saying "I beseech you" in archaic dialogue in historical fiction, or in reprints of classic texts? Seldom used by Jane Austen? (Cf. entreat) #English #language #literature #archaic

  9. ENBLAWUN: puffed up, inflatus. (John Wycliffe, An Apology for Lollard Doctrines, 14th-century manuscript, published 1842) #English #archaic #obsolete #language #satire #politics #antifa

  24. I just started reading Paul Graham’s "On Lisp", and was suddenly struck by a phrase that used to be so common, but now I haven't heard in years, that something was "available by anonymous FTP”. Web sites supplanted FTP servers, so this has gone the way of the dodo, which is why it jumped out at me.

  25. “Arthwait was in the fetters of his own egoism; while he pronounced himself father and grandfather of all spiritual science, in language that would have seemed stilted and archaic to Henry James, or Osric, and presumptuous in the mouth of an archangel … He wanted to evoke the devil, but was terrified lest he should be successful. However, nobody could be more pedantically pious than he in following out the practical prescriptions of these absurd charm-books.”
