"How goes it" and "Worry not".
Hi
I know that you can say "How goes it" for "How are you?", I heard it somewhere, couldn't say if it's archaic or informal or both. In this expression, you don't extract the auxiliary to ask the question. And what about "Worry not" (in place of "don't worry!" or similar expressions? Is this form possible, even if not good english?
Thank you.

Hi,

Interventizio"Worry not"No. You probably mean not to worry.

"Not to worry!" this is a good alternative. I was tired of the "don't worry" form. However, it's a pity that "worry not!" is not valid because I think it sounds cool.
