http://projectgutenberg.tumblr.com/post/2378076807/mr-salteena-was-an-elderly-man-of-42-and-was-fond Do you remember Daisy Ashford's book: The Young Visiters or Mr Salteena's Plan and its opening line?  (link above) Is it our perception of somewhere we ourselves have not yet reached (in our opinion)? I am definitely guilty of using the word elderly.  It seems softer than old which is a rather stark observation.  Elderly does not necessary mean frail.  Age UK refers to older adults and there is insurance there for the over 50s.
