How good am I?

Archaic means the usage is outdated --- as in no one uses it in its present incarnation. "Span round" is grammatically incorrect, period. I have a degree in English, I know 😄 But don't ask me, let's ask the dictionary!
ar·cha·ic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (är-kk) also ar·cha·i·cal (--kl)
adj.
also Archaic Of, relating to, or characteristic of a much earlier, often more primitive period, especially one that develops into a classical stage of civilization: an archaic bronze statuette; Archaic Greece.
No longer current or applicable; antiquated: archaic laws. <---------
Cambridge Dictionary means squat (or should I say "splat?"😉, pull up the Oxford English Dictionary.
I thought "span" only had one meaning, by the way? Seems like it has 10!
Are the ball and spotted dick stuck in your mouth along with your foot? 😄
Game over, insert another quarter ~

LoL, zipped past Forrest Gump!
Archaic does not mean that it is not in usage, it means that it is outdated -- and apparently Old English isn't clue enough for you considering Chaucer wrote in Middle English?
Furthermore, according to the OLD ENGLISH Dictionary it is not USED as a past tense of SPIN, now is it? LMAO, how clueless.
Sorry, "span round" is grammatically unviable -- it is "spun around."
And I thought span only had one meaning? Funny how you keep avoiding that. Hurts being proved wrong on more than one rfront, no? 😄
The ball's in your mouth 😄
