Either that, or being surprised at that makes one an obsolete linguist.
It isn't really much, but UG, your language is a few decades too late. This may be a good thing, to you, or may not be - it's up to you, but it's inarguable that, compared to the rest of the english-speaking
world, your language is a little bit on the antiquated side.
It's the least of your shortcomings, though, all-in-all.
