"Deserve well of" In 1926, a famous English gentleman was upset because many people were no longer using the word "fiddle." They were using the word "violin" instead. He thought that English speakers should continue to use "fiddle." He said that English-speaking people who continued to use the word "fiddle" DESERVE WELL OF THE LANGUAGE. "To deserve well of" is older English and very rare today. Would you please tell me what "Those people deserve well of the language" means in modern English? Thank you
