- First of all, that poem is 92 years old and not written in the currently used American English, I suspect also in the Queen's English, just as a poem written today in rap style will most likely be archaic in 2114.
- Secondly, I have no intention of taking the time to make a count as I could care less really. Perhaps, severely outdated might be a better term.
- Finally, to a person not a native speaker of English that prose would be confusing as hell -- I had thought that was the OP point - the screen-name is editeur, a French word and the thread title is asking "native English speakers" for opinions. Éditeur de texte, logiciel destiné à la création et l'édition de fichiers textes.
- postscript: I stopped at the first totally archaic word I noticed to cite an example of that prose being a ridiculous example of modern English use.
