Can I today use the word 'thrice' or is it completely out of date and shouldn't be used? Dusan

I read the NY times daily, and subscribe to Foreign Affairs magazine and study discourse, and I've yet to see the use of "thrice" so I would say it's outdated.

I like the word and use it. But I'm out on a limb it seems.
