   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 06.01.2022 23:56   
      
   Happy New Year!

   It is also a big question what percent of all English words is known to    
   all the people speaking English. ;) So, when speaking English, maybe it    
   is a good idea to simplify phrases and don't use old fashion words.   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
