There was a magazine back in the 19th century, called "The Gardener's Monthly and Horticultural Advertiser". It has this line:
A package of two dollars' worth, full - size fashionable.

In another forum, a British person says the following:
She bought me flour of two pounds' worth. - grammatically correct, but the sentence is not a likely one in modern English.

What would be more correct: to consider it grammatically wrong or unidiomatic?

Let's not concern ourselves with 200-year-old English unless it's relevant to today.

In another forum, a British person says the following:
She bought me flour of two pounds' worth. - grammatically correct, but the sentence is not a likely one in modern English.

I don't consider it grammatically correct.

Which forum is that?

Which forum is that?

It's beyond this grammar issue.

It's beyond this grammar issue.

What does that mean?

If you quote from any source, you should tell us the name of that source.

 

[ROFTOK]

The source is my memory. Now I have told you the source.

 

[5jj]

You have not told us the name of the other forum.

 

[ROFTOK]

I don't remember the name of this forum.
