Cool Lego Site of the Fortnight!

This may just be my love of archaism talking, but I'd certainly be
proud to be lauded from such a site.

That fits perfectly and that word is in common everyday use in the UK.

But in the USA, most people find it archaic, if they even know what it
means at all.  I think it'd be better to use terms that make sense to
all readers.
