    It’s an archaic word that pretty much fell out of usage in the 1800s. People don’t say it. It’s a word in very much the same way forsooth or something is.

    That’s why I downvoted.

        They were not being sarcastic.

        This is a common misconception from Americans who presumably just read some 300 year old poem or book in their English literature lessons and assume everybody still writes like that.
