Sometimes it's just a matter of the rhythm of the language as to which form of such a word is used I think. And some words have a longer lifespan (in terms of being in current use) than others. All languages are always changing (as long as it is still a spoken language anyway).
I thought Blessed was a British actor known for his loud voice.

Is it time for us English, to reclaim our language from the rest of the world?
