On the other hand,  I learned things.  Like their use of "so and so pained me" for hurt.  I thought it was just plain wrong but discovered eventually that in very much older English, this was a perfectly correct usage.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I heard that phrase a lot when watching old westerns, both TV series & movies.

Usually uttered by some old 'codger' referring to various aches & pains.

Which brings me to another instance.

A friend of mine from high school had a younger brother.

Only three years younger but he had never, ever heard the phrase 'old codger'.

"What the heck is a 'codger'!"
