[USMA:30465] off topic, personal pronouns

[David King]

In German: sie = she sie = they du = you (singular/informal) Sie = you (plural/ singular polite) Ihr = you  (plural/ singular polite) but in different context I think Sie is used in the nominative case (where You is the subject), and Ihr for one or more of the other cases, but it is a long time since I studied German at school. Also, in old English, thou = you (singular) thee = to you (singular) you/ye = you plural but I don't fully understand the old English grammar so cannot comment much further. But as far as I am concerned, the old English words for you can be consigned to history, like the imperial units should be. I am much more for moving forward with metric and modern English. "Thou canst stick thy inches in thy dustbin of history" David MightyChimp wrote: "Sie" is plural as is "you-all", which is more commonly spelled "y'all". Sie also means they, which is not the same as the plural you or you-all. -- David King Yahoo profile • my website • My travels • Computer help Cash Avalanche • Free website business • Avoura online store • Dial up Internet • Great Mobile Phones UK Metric Association • US Metric Association "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
