Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Since I *know* someone here is bound to know the answer to this...
Suppose that a person were trying to write a brief passage in King James Bible/Shakespearean era English, because that person's story includes a spell involving an artifact of that time. Should that person say "By my blood be THOU destroyed" or "By my blood be THEE destroyed"? Because there's the hymn "Be THOU my vision," but OTOH "thee" just sounds better to me on a gut level.
Today I made an agreement to buy some stuff from Oprah. Well, Harpo.
I've never paid much attention to 420, but I learned when I was in kindergarten that I was allergic to that family of plant. Remember the macrame trend?
The internet tells me that "thou" is for subjects and "thee" is for objects. Destroy thee, or be thou destroyed, I'd say.
Good old macrame. Well, that would have been a nasty allergy to discover unawares in non-topical form!
Thanks, -t! "Thou" it shall be.
Yep. "Be thou destroyed" is correct.
I spent the evening planning and packing for my trip tomorrow to my moms. She's having cataract surgery and i will be chauffeuring her to and from, plus pampering her for the rest of the week during recovery. I have to get up at 4:30 to get to the plane on time so I better lie down and try to sleep.
May it go safely and successfully -- both your trip and mom's surgery!
I woke up all ready to drive, and then remembered that I'd decided to take the day off....
Hope your trip is already going well, Scrappy. And your day off, Theo.
Cataract surgery is weird but easy to deal with. I was perfectly functional except for monocular vision, that first 24 hours.
Argh this day. Put on my sweater backwards, fir some reason it became extremely noticeable once I got in the car so I switched it around as soon as I got to work. Less easily fixable - my wooden pin hasn't turned up so I think that's just lost, and now I can't find my coffee cup. MY COFFEE CUP. How does that even happen? It lives at my desk with occasional forays into the kitchen and it's not in either place.
