So I was in the office yesterday trying to carry a hundred files at once. Seeing my predicament this associate politely asked me, "you okay there?" I answered, "yea I'm cool". Then one of the files almost fell down and only a my high school experience in goal allowed me to balance myself in time and prevent a huge mess. But that's not important, what is important is what I said thereafter: "oops, looks like I spoke too soon. As is my wont to do."
Wont? Who the fuck uses "wont" in a sentence anymore.
Anyway the only reason I wrote this is because my "How I met your mother" episode is taking too long to stream. But I gotta go, Ted's got dumped again.

Wont's fine.i still say 'goodness gracious me' at times!
You are wont to say 'wont'. Heehaha
I once said "surreptitiously" and regreted it immediately. However, I don't think I've reached the league of blurting out "wont" mid-sentence.
I'm guilty of using "wont" more than once (maybe even five-ten times) in my entire existence. These lapses have coincided with the periods of time right after having read a Jane Austen or Charles Dickens...
I say wont for effect :) and for humor.... I have fallen immediately in love with you by the way... as is my wont :)
