Sometimes. Even though it’s an archaic word

@YoungPoet345 Is it? Archaic, I mean? Well, maybe,,but then again, so am I.

Haha, lol. All I mean is the word has been around for a long time. Since Elizabethan times. But the way it’s used has changed over time

@YoungPoet345 yes. You're right. I just looked it up and it has its special place and use in English. Apparently USA isn't one of the places. But, I think that was far too broad a statement. I mean, seriously, there are an awful lot of people in the USA and I doubt there is a national sanction against its use.
