Collins old words

How can they chop such wonderful words out of the dictionary? just because they're old? As a writer I search for such wonderful words that roll off the tongue or are fun to say.. I'm sure readers appreciate them more than the same old common usage over and over again.

It sounds similar to the way many feel about senior citizens.

I agree with Judy. I write historical novels and prefer the old words to the new.

I'll start using "embrangle" -- as a modern word.

Perhaps "muliebrity" pertains to mule-headedness -- and that's why it's being removed!

no no no no!!!!

Ah so...language does morph with usage. LB

These words have "exuviated" some of my ignorance. thanks!

How agrestic to exuviate, as if old detritus, such nitid words!

Three cheers for the OED - all these seem alive and well and thriving on-line. Muliebrity - such a good latine word for femininity. Do we lobby Collins to relent?
