Sure, go ahead! The problem is that almost everything you write
(as long as you're not gluing old sentences together) can be criticised
as "using modern words", "using words with their modern meaning",
"being out of style" etc. The same is true for our course - if Eysteinn,
for example, were so inclined he could no doubt point out various
"modernicism" in the lessons.

What bombast circumstance!
