- Milner08 8y agois it? I have never, ever seen it used and I've lived in the UK my whole life.
- sean-duffy 8y agoYou'll find it a lot in older literature, Dickens etc.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoStill see it used sometimes in current UK English, most often by solicitors or in other formal language. Definitely becoming less common and fading out, like Esq and Esquire slowly died out of standard usage on bank statements and other official letters, over the last 20 years.
