Do people use the word perchance in conversation? I've heard it in an American show filmed in 2010.
I mean, the year in the show is also 2010.
The speaker was an attorney; the conversation wasn't too formal, however, it was between two people who don't know each other. I know I probably shouldn't overanalyze stuff like this, and conversations in a TV show are definitionally scripted, but nevertheless.
@CowperKettle You didn't know the word camomile? In my first language it's the same thing (kamilica).
@Jasper Do you hear the difference in the pronunciation of the word between the prescribed way (the transcription above) and the way the guy who read the example phrase pronounced it?
@userr2684291 I am not subscribed to the site. Does that make a difference? What am I supposed to click on other than the microphone symbols at the top of that page?
@Jasper For some reason the first actress that comes to mind that I found attractive is Elinor Donahue in The Andy Griffith Show, haha. I watched that show a couple of years ago for no real reason. She starred in the first season only, if I remember correctly.
