    Usage notes

    Unlike once and twice, thrice is somewhat dated in American usage, often used for a comical or intentionally archaic effect. Three times is the more standard and typical usage. On the other hand, once and twice are almost always preferred over one time and two times. Thrice does however retain some currency in compounds like thrice-monthly.
