- But "beseech" has a particular inquisitive feeling to it... I see no reason why it's not used any more.Corvo2

- One could say:
Could you please stop using the thing.pylon - correct. and correct about the word, "beseech"juhls

- the fact that a word isn't used any more does not lessen it's semantic quality.Corvo2
- d'oh.
