I just used the word 'hence' in an email

[GoodGirlFaith]

AIBU to want to punch the air?

Pray tell me your favourite olden day words.

Thus, landline, yellow pages

Yanbu as long as you used it correctly. If not I'll be straight off to Pedants Corner

"Joey said hence" is the first thing that comes to mind with that word.
Newsagent.
Off licence.
Whelm (not over or under).

Is hence an olden days word? I must be older than I thought! 😶

I sometimes say "splud!" or "zwounds!" as swear words but only because it winds my kids up.

Heheh- well done Op- thus is my favourite!

YANBU.
If I'm feeling particularly insufferable I will use the word supposably. Bonus points if someone corrects you to supposedly and you get to explain that they are different words.

N.B. is a good daily one for emails.

Unbeknownst is my favourite.

Pedants' Corner.

I hope that email finds them well…..

I use hence quite a lot.

My favourite word is Dappled.

I use hence quite often, it's a good word.

Words I quite commonly use in emails are

• henceforth
• forthwith
• outwith (I've heard this is mainly a Scottish word, so perhaps my English colleagues are confused by it)
• thereafter

I just asked Co-pilot if I use old fashioned words in my emails and it's told me
Based on a sample of your recent sent emails, I would say your style is professional, courteous, and slightly more formal than average modern business email writing, but not excessively old-fashioned.

Flabbergasted.

I try to use it as often as I can manage!

No, because the corner doesn’t belong to the Pedants. It’s where the pedants are. Genitive vs possessive.

Outwith. A lovely word. Not unusual in Scotland but rarely used in England, sadly.

Thrice

It's a very pleasing word.

Ooh, yes, that's an excellent one.

That's a great word. (Hence.) I do use it in real life now and again.

I also love to use the word 'inexplicably.'

Also 'myriad.'

And 'discombobulated.'

I also say 'thus far' sometimes.

I like to think I'm cleverer than I am. 😆

Oh and I use 'unbeknownst' too!

Thus
Yon side/Yonder
How so?
Albeit
Flit (to leave quickly and without paying)

Notwithstanding

I don’t know but today I saw a new one on mumsnet
“as a pose to” 😂

😆

Apologies, that was very jarring

@DearlyDiego I love an outwith, had no idea till I worked in England that it was peculiarly Scottish 😂

Insofar 👌
