Interesting, that many sites now include a form field to indicate preferrable pronouns. There could be tons of that dumb gender pronounses, but nowhere I saw a choice with "thou" instead of "you".
In Russian, thou/you (ты/вы) used equally. "You" used more in formal cases or when you talk with unknown person. "Thou" used in regular conversations with friends and relatives, frequently in forums and chats, or with person you don't want to be formal with. Using "you" instead of "thou" in conversation with old friend could be accounted as an offence and you could even risk to get a punch to face for that. :)
So, it is interesting, what's wrong with "thou" in English, from the native speakers point of view? And why that SJW "forgot" most obvious and possibly one of really useful pronouns? What if I will demand using "thou" instead of "you" for me in conversation with gender-woke person?
Can you imagine when eventually the police have pulled over a car full of teens seemling up to no good and the cop has to get the story and each is using preferred pronouns to describe what happened. Would quickly turn into a 21st century Abbot and Costello routine.
So at least these is that.
Fixed, thanks. Could not edit title, however.
Sounds reasonable. "Thou" does not sound insane and that is why it is unsuitable for them.
Thou would be the more formal of the two. English is weird.
Are you professional Russian?
No, just native Russian. :) "Professional Russians" are mostly Jews here.
It's a quote from deleted YouTube account PFSRussia
That guy isn’t even a russian you absolute retard
All the more reason to use excessively!
Yea spanish and latin languages have formal/informal versions of 'you' (Tú And Usted).
Agree bringing back thou would be cool.
Of course, 'Do you want to...' would translate to 'Do thou...', which doesn't really work, so you'll need to modify to 'Doest Thou...".
