So, was it true? Did it really all end?
Just in case it didn't, here's today's Forgotten English:
Writative
A word of Pope's coming, not to be imitated: 'Increase of years makes men more talkative but less writative to that degree I now write no letters but of plain how d'ye's.'
- Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, 1755.
