And poor Darcey and family.
YAY Gris! Go you!
-t, the other plural you that was sometimes used was "ye."
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My Mom is nutty. My sister just told her that she told her husband he is no longer invited to family gatherings where Mom or I will be there. Mom replied, "are you sure? Let me talk this over with Liz." Gah! Of course you're sure you crazy woman! You loathe this guy as much as I do.

More knowledge, yay!
Is there a difference between "you" as a plural and "ye" as a plural?

Well "you" was a lot more common. Hm. Maybe "ye" is more formal? (i.e. "Hear ye, hear ye" as a call to begin a meeting.) Nah, I don't think so. I don't think there's much of a difference in Shakespeare's usage of you/ye, but I could be wrong.
So in other words, I don't know. My ass-talking, let me show you it.

I'm amused that when I tried to decide this in my head the phrase that popped up was "ye scabrous dogs".

Is there a difference between "you" as a plural and "ye" as a plural?
Ye is archaic, but was early modern English second person plural.
The annoying thing about "you" is the potential for confusion between singular and plural. Maybe i just mean the one person i'm looking at, maybe i mean the entire room, maybe i only mean the five people in the room i actually like. Too much potential confusion. Yet another problem with the English language. (That and the letter "c." It is a useless, confusing letter.)

This site: [link] says "ye" was the subject and "you" was the object form of the plural. Which I should be able to parse. You would think. Er, ye would. I implore you. Hm.

Ah! Cleared up. I never paid much attention to subject/object for second person plural. I shall have to check a couple Shakespeares to see if that plays out.
In meme news, I am really friggin' glad that today is over. It wasn't a bad day, but it was exhausting. I graded a lot as the kidlets took tests today, but then I gave two make-up tests and tutored (and that did not go especially well and I didn't get paid today because her husband wasn't home to write the check @@), and I'm thinking an hour of reading and bed bed bed is called for.

From Wikipedia: 'Originally "ye" and "thou" were nominative pronouns, while "you" and "thee" were accusative forms,'
