i say unto thee, good tooters,
be thou not stingy with thine boosts
the internet informed me that it should be "thy boosts" sorry my old english is bad
@tcql Also: That's Modern English.
@tcql TROLLOLOLOLOLOL!
@tcql Oh shit! Also a further nitpick (I know how excited you are reading this sentence so far, but just get ready because it's good): "Thy/thee/thine/etc" is singular. "Your/you/yours/etc" is plural. In Elizabethan-era Modern English.
And I'm not sure it should be "thine", anyway. That's equivalent to "yours".
E.g.
• This food is thine.
• Whither is thy food?
@benhamill interesting. I found some conflicting stuff on getting thy/thine right and some folks suggested it often came down to phonetics.
If the word described / following starts with a vowel or "h", then "thine" sounds more appropriate. If it's a consonant other than "h", "thy"
"thy blade"
"thine honor"
"thine own self"
@benhamill the confusion also could boil down to variations throughout the evolution of modern english – at one point in time (and in one place!) one rule might have made sense, and in another it's something different
@tcql Looks legit: http://etymonline.com/index.php?term=thy
"used only before consonants except -h-."
@tcql Hmmmm. I've not heard this take. I must research more. Thanks!
