 * This is all over EEBO if anyone wants to find three cites (I might do it later). This, that and the other (talk) 11:26, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I've added some cites; one from the 1990s (according to Google Books, but some other words in the work make me wonder if it's more recent than even that) and one from 2010, for which reason I changed the label from "obsolete" to "uncommon". Besides comparatives with more, btw, -er may also be attested. - -sche (discuss) 18:05, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If the concern about dating the Wingspan quote was the presence of the word "Twitchathon", then it may reassure to know that this is the name of a kind of birdwatching competition (cf. relevant senses of, , ) that has been held regularly in Australia since 1984, and not a reference to the video streaming website. 98.170.164.88 12:36, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

RFV-passed, not sure what the 1996 cite is, but there is no doubt whatsoever that this exists and has been used over many centuries. This, that and the other (talk) 11:02, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
