* The [[WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum Guardians of the Storyline's Æras]] have often dealt with amateur Tales whoſe Narrators eſſayed without ſucceſs to do this well. One memorable Example is a Tale wherein [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean a military officer named James Norrington]] forms a Bond of Amity with the admittedly affable Ruffian Jack Sparrow. Alas, the Writer is oblivious to the proper Uſe of a Theſaurus, and the Guardians assigned to it, Mara and Iſaiah, [[{{Malaproper}} behold queer Occurrences due to the nearly-correct Word being employed]] inſtead of the correct Word. Fortunately, ſome precious Stones that manifeſt as novelty Items ſuitable for practical Jeſts (in that they deliver deconſtructive Comments to their Bearer) deliver Mara from Penury.

* The good Baron Munchausen has produc'd a '''rôle''-playing' Game 'in the New Style', over the Courſe of ſeverall Brandywines and expenſive Luncheons from his Publiſher, and this fine Work is, of courſe, written in the vernacular of a true Britiſh Gentleman. Indeed, it encourages, nay, requires the Participants thereof to do the Same, as well as to maintain the Proprieties of true ''étiquette'' and Præcedence. While the Baron recommends that Diſputes between Players be reſolv'd as between Gentlemen, whether with Piſtols or Swords (and devotes much of a Chapter to the Importance of finding a good Second), he alſo notes that there are ſome Perſons lilied of the Liver, with jaundic'd Bellies (and [[AcceptableTargets the French]]) who may ſeek to avoid ſuch gentlemanly Purſuits, and ſo recommends that Game commonly known as Rochambeau, although his Deſcription is, of courſe, somewhat fantaſticall.

* A moſt prime Exemplar of this Trope in ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' ſhould be Gil-galad's antiquated Speech to the Elves:
-->'''Gil-Galad:''' These most valiant of warriors kneel before us, victorious. For though Morgoth fell an Age ago, some feared a new evil might arise from his shadow. So for centuries now, these soldiers have swept across crag and crevice, washing away the last remnants of our enemy like a spring rain over the bones of spoilt carcass. And now, at last, they return to us in triumph, they have proven beyond any doubt that our days of war are over. Today, out peace of day begin. And, as a measure of our gratitude, these heroes shall be granted an honor unrivaled in all our lore. They will be escorted to the Grey Heavens, and granted passage across the see to dwell for all eternity in the Blessed Realm, the Far West. The Undying Lands of Valinor. At last, they are going home.

* In the Chronicles of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', one Sir Edward Cullen is often referr'd as enunciating in this Manner. However, there is not a ſingle Procurement of the good Maſter Cullen conferring in this Style of Vocalization. Indeed, it would be apparent that Maſter Cullen articulates in a Manner more aſsociated with young Ladies and Gentlemen entering their finall Years of American publick Education, and not in the Manner of refin'd, elderly Gentlemen born in the Year of Our Lord One Thouſand Eight Hundred Ninety-Four. It is for this Reaſon that one may reasonably be driven to conclude that Cullen's Grandiloquence is merely an [[InformedAttribute inform'd Attribute]].

* As a rather [[DownplayedTrope minor]], yet ne'ertheleſs legitimate Example of this Trope, Miſter [[Music/NinjaSexParty Daniel Sexbang]] of the ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'', when referring to the Areas of a Video-game, instead of uſing the more-commonly accepted Terms 'Levels' or 'Stages', uſes the Term 'Boards'. Said Expreſsion was only typically common during the early Ages of Video-game Hiſtory and has not been in the common Lexicon for Decades, though this fits in with Daniel's Experience [[RetroGaming mainly being rooted in two-dimensionall Video-games.]]
