    Oh I like those. I use the phrase 'multi-talentless' sometimes. I use 'thus' quite a lot as well. But usually I find old fashioned words work better banged right up next to really modern words or slang, just for effect.

    Not that I really think about it much

    When I'm addressing a letter to a collective body or if I'm writing a sicknote for one of the kids for school or whatnot.

    'To whom it may concern'. Still valid imo. True story.

    It's also the sound a fart makes underwater. WHOOOM.
    No, that's 'Blubbalubbalub'. WHOOM is the noise a torpedo makes leaving a sub.

    (second thoughts maybe yours does sound like that)

    I like using 'ergo'. It makes me seem clever. Or a twat. Either.

    Is the use of "proper english" the correct English Grammer?

    I think it is, but it sounds wrong..
