[02:29:55] Dun 4 Hire: Okay, the only reason why I know the word "fourscore" is from Lincoln's speech.
[02:30:00] Dun 4 Hire: Did people say that shit all the time back then?
[02:30:09] Dun 4 Hire: How often did that come up in everyday speech?
[02:30:15] Dun 4 Hire: "I have fourscore cows for sale."
[02:30:16] Turinturambar200: it's one word?  I thought it was "four score"
[02:30:35] Turinturambar200: I always thought Score was like Dozen
[02:30:40] Turinturambar200: but a different modifier
[02:30:50] Dun 4 Hire: Hmmmm... Merrian lists it as one word.
[02:31:08] Dun 4 Hire: So I could have fivescore and that would be a hundred.
[02:31:17] Dun 4 Hire: I can say "fivescore years ago, WWI was on the horizon."
[02:31:28] Dun 4 Hire: We should do that.
[02:31:31] Dun 4 Hire: We should bring that back.
[02:31:37] Dun 4 Hire: Let's start doing it.
[02:31:44] Dun 4 Hire: Like, in math class.
[02:31:51] Dun 4 Hire: Instead of saying 120, say "sixscore."
[02:32:14] Dun 4 Hire: Let's bring back "thrice" too.
[02:32:39] Dun 4 Hire: And "hie."
[02:32:41] Dun 4 Hire: And "athwart."
[02:33:11] Dun 4 Hire: And "anent."
[02:34:51] Turinturambar200: hey now, thrice is still fucking here
[02:35:01] Dun 4 Hire: It's just barely hanging on.
[02:35:02] Turinturambar200: but what the fuck is is hie
[02:35:11] Dun 4 Hire: I think "whom" is going stronger than "thrice."
[02:35:21] Dun 4 Hire: It means "to hurry."
[02:35:27] Dun 4 Hire: Oh!  Oh!  And we should be "repair" back too.
[02:35:38] Dun 4 Hire: Like as in "to go."
[02:35:42] Dun 4 Hire: And "betake."
[02:35:45] Dun 4 Hire: Oh fuck, now I'm excited.
[02:37:56] Dun 4 Hire: Do people still use "howbeit"?
[02:37:59] Dun 4 Hire: Well, they're going to now.
