Requesting modern English use. Last cite in the OED is from 1340. The quotation on Google Books in "The History of England" is quoting John Gower. DTLHS (talk) 23:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

I had no trouble at all finding uses in Modern English. Several have been added to the page Leasnam (talk) 15:02, 3 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I deleted the two quotations you listed that were putatively from the 2000's. One is actually from Chapman's Homer, which was written in the early 1600's; the other is from a poet who lived in the late 1800's. If you put them back you should get the dates correct, thanks.

Thank you ! There's no need to put them back though. It's clear that the language used in that work was older. I hadn't the time to read all of it this am. I used the date GBooks was displaying. Sorry Leasnam (talk) 21:40, 3 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Passed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:29, 9 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
