Is there a difference between "you" as a plural and "ye" as a plural?
From Wikipedia: 'Originally "ye" and "thou" were nominative pronouns, while "you" and "thee" were accusative forms,'
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

[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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't get paid today because her husband wasn't home to write the check @@
Oh that's just ridiculous. Come one, people. Don't do that.

Funny, I think I learned how to use thou, thee and thy from the bible, but I didn't pick up on you and ye at all.

No fire tonight. I count that as a win. I think I'll go to bed now.

Ya I know, no medals given for finally doing housework.
I'd give someone a medal for doing mine.
In Middle to early modern English, ye was the second person plural subjective, as in "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free," while you was the objective case, which is only slightly less confusing. Old English was much more declined, so the case would be a better clue than it is today. It also made it a bitch to learn.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm sorry ma'am but I'm going to have to repossess the contents of your daughter's brain.

I'm catching up with the day. Laura, goodness. Good thoughts your way.
And the language talk reminds me to ask - is fixing (as in dinner or a drink) a regional thing? My mother, who is from the South, uses "fix" and "make" interchangeably when it comes to food and drink (so do I) - as in, "I'm going to fix dinner," or "Would you like me to fix you a drink?", but she was saying the other day that her Canadian friends used to tease her with... "You're going to fix it? Is it broken?" (Like, thirty years ago, they did this) Now I'm wondering whether it's an overall USian thing, or a regional thing. (She doesn't say "fixin' to," - it's not that usage.)

Laura, sorry about the very bad, no good, horrible day.
