Q. When did the common vernacular change from #GoodMorrow to #GoodMorning?
A. The shift from "good morrow" to "good morning" in common vernacular occurred gradually over several centuries. "Good morrow" was commonly used during the late #MiddleAges and into the Early Modern English period (roughly the 15th to 17th centuries). By the 18th century, "good morning" became more prevalent and widely used in everyday speech. This change reflects broader shifts in the English language and its usage over time.
