Have you ever heard anyone begin a sentence with the word "verily"?

Question

in a modern-day conversation

Answer 1

Verily is an obsolete word, so, no, I have never heard anyone begin a sentence with it.

Verily, Shakespeare used this word, but it dropped out of use about 300 years ago.

Answer 2

My g/f said "Verify that those condoms in your pocket are not expired and I might consider sleeping with you."

Answer 3

No I haven't.........

Answer 4

Do you hear people saying "swell," "super" or "the tops" anymore? These expressions were commonplace in the days of your grandparents. Gone. Your own grandchildren, in the unlikely event that they are ever exposed to the likes of ROTFL, will have their own version of WTF? (with which they will also be unfamiliar.) Time marches on, and in the greenness of their youth, each generation will mock the ways of those who went before.

Such stability as our society has depends upon time-honored institutions. Religion and the Law for two. The Law and the Catholic Church reach back far beyond the "verily" of James I's day to the Latin of the Romans.

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Verily, I say unto you, "Yes!"

It just depends on the kind of idiots you socialize with. (or I socialize with)

Answer 8

For sooth, methinks I have.  

Then again, this was from a friend who also randomly flips open his cell and calls out "Scotty, beam me up.  There's no intelligent life down here."  My experience may be other than normal.
