Among the lost positives consigned to the dusty corners of the dictionary is ‘reck’, meaning ‘care’, ‘heed’, and ‘consideration’. Which means we can be reckful instead of reckless (and feckful, gormful, ruthful, ept, kempt, couth, consolate, and many more).

Did someone think this sounded better and don't we still use feckless?
I'll never forget this day.
They said that I was in my youth
Uncouth and ungainly forsooth
I could only reply
It's a lie, it's a lie
I am couth, I am perfectly couth
This is the trouble with sites to do with language 🥰
I do know that and I don’t know whether I did it or the phone did it
LOL, let’s say the phone did it
What do you think the answer to my question is then?
I thought it was short for recognise but it’s used in context of caring for someone rather than recognising them physically
Thank you ☺️
I recall being admonished for such slang by my very posh colleagues in the UK!

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
it gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Is there also a meaning for 'feck'?
