[–] 7 points 7 months ago* (1 child)

Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don't like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I've seen, they use "we". I don't necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech... but then I also want to go back to using "thou" for second person singular, so I'm probably not qualified to speak on the matter.

    Nope. Thou is just superior. The fact there is no distinction between second person singular and plural is fucked up.

    Not sure but I think it should be thank thee.

    Edit: Yeah pretty sure

    Hmm, i tried to make a joke about thanking both parent posters, which makes them a plural noun, which makes thou wrong as it is only used for singular.

    But i guess i was wrong in an orthogonal dimension as well.
