The beauty of obsolete language




I can never quite believe these words ever existed, but if they're in PopSugar, it must be true. I think the coming generation probably will receive all or most of its education from such sites. But is it any worse than the crap WE learned in school? No less dull, certainly. These words are not going to find their way back into common useage any time soon. They are crowded out by the acronyms that I encounter daily, and CANNOT figure out, making me feel about as obsolete as these creaky archaic terms. I'd do a post on them, but they're too depressing.
