	Archaism. Fowler, H. W. 1908. The King's English
		It is conscious archaism that offends, above all the conscious archaisms of the illiterate: the historian's It should seem, even the essayist's You shall find, is less odious, though not less deliberate, than the ere, oft, aught, thereanent, I wot, I trow, and similar ornaments, with which amateurs are fond of tricking out their sentences.

		Regarded as a counter-irritant to slang, archaism is a failure.
