Thee, thine, thy
Thee, thine, thy For some reason, I have been using "Thee and Thine, and Thy," instead of You, and Yours, Most of the time I can catch it and correct it so I do not get the questions, of what, does that word mean or What are you biblical or something? Have not you used a word that fits, just as well as another? Bah, I am just me flawed in all the wrong places for some, and yet perfectly flawed to be me. Smile, some one would like to know, what you are thinking, and it is fun to keep them guessing..... ~~~>|<~~~ GhostofHugs D GhostofHugs |

Sometimes Thee, Thine and Thou fit best, same with other words but the unromantic, the prosaic, the narrow of thought person does not understand that words have flavors of meaning and not just simple meaning. As Mark Twain is reported to have said "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between the lightning and the lightning bug." If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin." I always behave. Preferably not well.

I have Quaker ancestors. They made a lot of people angry by using this less formal address. I love finding documents that employ those pronouns. One man acquired a lot of land in Ohio and sold it off to other brethren at cost or less, and often neither party kept a strict record of payments. A neighbor visited to pay Aaron, and Aaron said "Jacob, I think that thee hast paid enough." Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
