A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926), by Henry Watson Fowler (1858–1933), is a style guide to British English usage, pronunciation, and writing.
 Covering topics such as plurals and literary technique, distinctions among like words (homonyms and synonyms), and the use of foreign terms, the dictionary became the standard for other guides to writing in English.
 Hence, the 1926 first edition remains in print, along with the 1965 second edition, edited by Ernest Gowers, and reprinted in 1983 and 1987.
 The 1996 third edition, re-titled as "The New Fowler’s Modern English Usage" (revised in 2004) was mostly rewritten by Robert W. Burchfield, as a usage dictionary that incorporated corpus linguistics data; and the 2015 fourth edition, re-titled "Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage", edited by Jeremy Butterfield, is like the third edition.
 Informally, users refer to the dictionary as Fowler’s Modern English Usage, Fowler, and Fowler’s. Lowell Gallagher

Appetite for Extinction

Many words that existed in Old English did not survive into Modern English.
 There are also many words in Modern English that bear little or no resemblance in meaning to their Old English etymons.
 Some linguists estimate that as much as 80 percent of the lexicon of Old English was lost by the end of the Middle English period, including a large number of words formed by compounding, e.g. "bōchūs" ('bookhouse', 'library'), yet we still retain the component parts 'book' and 'house'.
 Certain categories of words seem to have been especially vulnerable.
 Nearly all words relating to sexual intercourse and sexual organs were supplanted by words of Latin or Ancient Greek origin.
 Many, if not most, of the words in Modern English that are used in polite conversation to describe body parts and bodily functions are of Latin or Greek origin.
 The words which were used in Old English for these same purposes are now mostly either extinct or considered crude or vulgar, such as arse/ass.
