Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
You do? All right, that's just neat. Although 'yeself' is just funny. Would it be thine self?
Yeah, or thyself. Although round here people pronounce it "thi' sen", nowadays.
...it strikes me that ye is probably supposed to be thee, isn't it? The y is supposed to be the Anglo Saxon lettor thorn, pronounced "th". As in "Ye Olde Shoppe". Huh.

Ye Olde... is definitely "the," but ye as in "I give ye Sean Bean" is, IIRC, the plural of you or thee.
Ye Olde Thisse and Thatte gets up my nose so fucking bad -- thanks so much for reminding me about it, Fay, since now I can remember to include it in the Fake Old English Shitte People Need to STOP DOING rant portion of the dialect class this weekend.
Now I want to come across a store called Fake Olde English Shitte.
Happy Birthday, Aimee!!
Stephanie! How are you? How is the beautiful Ellie? Haven't posted with you for a while, it seems...
STEPHANIE!!!!!!!!

Blister-and-migraine begones to Raq, Betsy, ita, and anybody else what needs them. Blister and knee-pain begones to Jessica.
A sharp rap or several with the cluestick for the doctor's staffers, Cindy. How's the boy this morning?
Car in shop for brakes, struts, alignment. $1,200. Meep. We shopped around, it's the best price, and may actually come in lower, and we budgeted for this because the car is worth the investment, but still, meep.
Nora, your weekend do sounds like everybody there had a fabulous time, by which I'm not a bit surprised. A little jealous, but no surprise.
In other news, I think I'ma take a wee nap. To bed by 2:30 this AM, up at 3:50 till 4:30, up at 7:30 to take car in. What day is it?
Ye Olde... is definitely "the," but ye as in "I give ye Sean Bean" is, IIRC, the plural of you or thee.
Definitely a y pronunciation, then? It's never occured to me before. I mean, I appreciate that Ye of 'Ye Olde Cliche' is an entirely different word from the Ye of 'I give ye', but it just struck me as odd that around here people don't use a y pronunciation at all. And then I wondered whether anyone ever had.
In my neck of the woods, it's always "tha", rather than either thee or thou. (Sample sentence recalled from my childhood, which I only realised, when at University, harked straight back to Anglo Saxon vocabulary: "Art tha laikin'?" = "Are you playing?")
