About the Swedish word, I removed the "obsolete" tag.

From Appendix:Glossary#obsolete:obs, obsolete – No longer in use, and no longer likely to be understood. Obsolete is a stronger term than archaic, and a much stronger term than dated.

Some writers still prefer the form "sade" and "sade" is still in use, so this description doesn't fit at all. Språkrådet (Swedish only) says that sade is "starting to appear old fashioned in some texts and sa is more and more starting to be considered neutral".

The above description of sade by Språkrådet more closely fits the Wiktionary describtion of dated: "dated — Still in use by older people, but generally considered unfashionable or superseded by younger people"

Feel free to add a "dated" tag, but calling it obsolete is missleading. /81.230.195.16 17:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC) (Jiiimbooh)Reply
