Karl asked: "Outside of the Spanish College and Norway and Iceland and
Greece's Katharevousa (a sort of old/new greek blend) has anyone else
attempted such a thing?"
I've never thought of it this way before, but I believe there is that
phenomenon happening right now in English! Perhaps subconsciously, perhaps
not - President Bush is not really mangling the language, he's just
harkening back to an archaic usage. Yeah, that's it! ;-)
