I know usen’t isn’t used in everyday English, but how about using it in an exam, an essay, or a formal letter?
Is it right to use usen’t instead of didn’t use to?
Answer
The only use of “usen’t” I’ve ever heard was by W. C. Fields in “Never Give a Sucker an Even Break.” He says it to the churlish waitress in the diner scene (at 2:48 of the video clip):
“Usen’t you be an old follies girl?”
