English it the most changing and changeable language on earth. It is hard to look at old rules of usage as a modern guide. For instance, I only recently learned that "Jabberwoky" by Lewis Carroll is not quite nonsense. It is, in fact, composed of very old English words that simply fell out of usage, but are presented the poem in a somewhat silly assemblage.

Here are a few lines as a reminder.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
