  • In the days before telecommunication and especially before formalized, reliable identification methods clothes were an obvious way to figure out a person's position in society. Expensive clothing was easy to spot when compared to cheaper clothing, so if a person was dressed in finery it was almost guaranteed they were actually wealthy.

  • Just a quick reminder that dictionaries are descriptive, they document existing language use rather than set down rules.

    If enough people break an existing rule often enough, it makes it into dictionaries. Just ask anyone who doesn't think that "ironic" should mean "coincidental".
