There are a lot of words we don't use. Take your favorite word, cut it in half and add izzle to the end. Now you know a word that we don't use anymore, because it has an ebonics equivalent.

Cinema is still used, that's why we still have cinematographers. Some less likely to be heard:
prithee, ken --- I know there are more, but my brain is filled with mud at the moment.

wireless = radio
there are a lot of words that still exist but we have shortened them and the shortened versions have became norm...
for example
bicycle - bike
vacum cleaner - hoover or vacum
linoleum - lino

In America, many people don't know what a nappy is. They just don't use the word here any more.

As a lingua franca, "we" is not relevant anymore. Many others speak and write better English than the "we".

Thou, thy and thee(thou art as wise as thou art beautiful), thrice (instead of three times), five-and-twenty (instead of twenty-five), hast (instead of has "Alas poor world, what treasure hast thou lost"),
methinks (instead of I think) and many more a word!
