This is what happens when you use usen\u2019t to<\/i>. Constance Charpentier, Melancholy<\/i>, 1801, oil on canvas.<\/p><\/div>\n

At ten every morning, Garner\u2019s Usage Tip lands in my inbox\u2014I\u2019m sure Garner could suggest a less clunky formulation for \u201cin my inbox\u201d\u2014providing a quick bit of unfussy, eminently sensible grammatical advice. There are worse things to look forward to.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s installment was the third in a scintillating four-part series on used to<\/em>, which gets pretty spicy, as far as grammar goes. Fun fact: the contracted form of\u00a0used not to<\/em> is usen\u2019t to<\/em>, which has been, despite its pleasant lilt, almost wholly displaced by didn\u2019t use to<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You could try to bring it back into style, but apart from sounding pretentious\u2014which you would\u2014you\u2019d run the risk of becoming very miserable. Take a look at\u00a0usen\u2019t to<\/em> as it appears throughout literature and you\u2019ll see: it\u2019s almost always used in the context of a total bummer. See below for examples from Forster, Trollope, Beckett, et al., none of which make the sun shine any brighter.<\/p>\n

Please, if you can find any positive instance of usen\u2019t to<\/em>, direct me to it. Otherwise I\u2019m inclined to offer a warning: abstain from this phrase, or you\u2019re liable to be plunged into cafard, parochialism, censoriousness, or just sort of a downer mood. <\/p>\n

E.\u2009M. Forster, Howards End<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cMeg, may I tell you something? I like Henry.\u201d
\u201cYou\u2019d be odd if you didn\u2019t,\u201d said Margaret.
\u201cI usen\u2019t to.\u201d
\u201cUsen\u2019t!\u201d She lowered her eyes a moment to the black abyss of the past. They had crossed it, always excepting Leonard and Charles. They were building up a new life, obscure, yet gilded with tranquillity. Leonard was dead; Charles had two years more in prison. One usen\u2019t always to see clearly before that time. It was different now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Arthur Wing Pinero, The Second Mrs. Tanqueray<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy face is covered with little shadows that usen\u2019t to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve got a sharper eye than we have for what\u2019s rotten in this society.\u201d
\u201cYoung people have always had that. But it usen\u2019t to affect their joie de vivre<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Anthony Trollope, The Way We Live Now<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAnyways the girls shouldn\u2019t let on as they are running after the gentlemen. A gentleman goes here and he goes there, and he speaks up free, of course. In my time, girls usen\u2019t to do that. But then, maybe, I\u2019m old-fashioned,\u201d added Mrs. Pipkin, thinking of the new dispensation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Samuel Beckett, Embers
<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

I usen\u2019t to need anyone, just to myself, stories, there was a great one about an old fellow called Bolton, I never finished it, I never finished any of them, I never finished anything, everything always went on for ever. [Pause.] Bolton.<\/p>\n
