I'm a bit of a illiterate retard but my /lit/bros will help me. Who the fuck uses pulchritude nowadays? And why this word exists and what context you're supposed to use it?

The fact that a unused words exist serves to further confirm that languages in general are considerably rich, however those who speak them are getting increasingly dumber as time passes, to the point that people can't express themselves properly due to a lack of vocabulary
