Sadly it’s become archaic. I would prefer it too, but alas language moves on, fam.

yeah, i totally agree that the beauty of English is that we add new words all the time. we traditionally even steal words from other languages.

i disagree though that we need to cast aside lovely olde English words whilst doing it.
(said whilst stamping my foot like a brat) why can't we keep them!?

do as you wish, but i'm sticking with rooves and that's that.

"best language in the land and all the world".
