Does anyone really use the word thrice (for 3 times) ?

well i m from india , i never use this thrice word and dont make these kind of prediction for whole india , we indians are not fools.........dont bother

I never knew that was a mistake.

Yes, I have used it sometimes, but don't like it much twice is used a lot, but thrice is not used much at all, think I prefer 3 times instead. I certainly wouldn't regard thrice as my most favourite word.

That is a really funny question! I haven't heard many people say thata at all really. theres a band called "thrice" tho .. hmm But , yah, i haven't heard it used much at all! I think im gonna go out of my way to use it from now on ! haha :) Thanks

My Grandmother still does and I do hear many other elderly people say it. They still do the country hillbilly talk around here. I am not sure poeple will ever be "proper" speaking here. LOL

I don't really use it much myself now that I notice it. Twice is so much more used when compared to this word, isn't it? I wonder what's the problem, maybe lack of use by most people? That must be it.

I do know the meaning of that word..."Thrice" but had never use it before as I don't want peoples to get it wrong with "Twice"....LOL..me too will say "3 times" rather than "Thrice"...

haha,well its the first i hear this word:)i am not english speaker,but i this language and i was studing a lot:)i aalways say 3 times:)

I've seen the word used, but never heard it in a casual conversation, nor have I ever used it. So basically I'd say I never use it.

Umm... I've used it when writing a piece where it seemed fitting... but I don't make it a regular part of my vocabulary ;)

No..and I have never really heard anyone else using it unless they are reciting poetry or a nursery rhyme. I don't think I have seen it here in MYLOT but than again, I probably did and just didn't make anything of it. I am usually reading nursery rhymes and children's stories to my 2 year old so I guess it just seems normal to me in a sense.

I don't use the word and I don't know anyone that uses it either. I think the only time I remembered seeing it was back in highschool in some assigned reading... I think Charles Dickens uses the word in his novels. The word seems a bit dated... I can only picture really old people using this word.

I personally don't use the word thrice, I don't even think I use twice in the place of two times. I can't say I recall seeing anyone on this site use thrice, or even in real life. I think I've only heard it used on (American or Canadian) TV shows or movies and even then, another character will comment on the usage of the word One example in particular I remember is an episode of The Golden Girls where Rose, the simple, naive ditz is writing a song and she uses the word thrice. Sardonic and sarcastic Dorothy questions who actually says that word and proclaims that it shouldn't be used in a song. I actually found the clip of it!

I don't think I've ever said "thrice" in conversation or anywhere else. I wonder if it's because things happen 2 times more often than 3 times (and once is really common). And after thrice, what's to stop there being a "quadrice" and "quintice"?

that's what our country has taught us! i'am referring to my country India where we use words which might not be understood by the people living abroad. we can't help either as we are not used to the American english

I have used it, but only when being goofy or spoofing shakespeare or something. It's not a regular part of my vocabulary. If I see it in writing, it doesn't strike me as odd, but it's something I never hear anyone say!!

I say it all the time.

Definitely not south of the USA, as three times is already difficult enough for our latinos.
