<div></div>thanks Filip, Jimm, I was also hoping to know who was making the judgement of a term being 'archaic' - the lexicographer or the speaker consultant(s) or speech community.

Forms such as 'thou art' or 'thou shalt' are no longer used but are surely understood by educated speakers. It would be interesting to have a closer look at such labels as 'old', 'old use', 'archaic', 'obsolescent' or 'obsolete' as the the distinctions between them are not clear-cut.
