I just learned the other day that in English "you" is the old formal.
Here in Pennsylvania, we know that Quakers used thee and thou far longer than anyone else. Turns out, that was a protest movement. You and yours were used for nobility and royalty, the piece I was reading said the "royal we" is a leftover from this setup.
As a protest against classism and politics, Quakers refused to use you and yours at all and used thee and thou for everyone regardless of status. Instead, common usage English went the other way and adopted you and yours for everyone.
My mother met old Quaker ladies in the 1950s who still used thee and thou in common conversation.
Thanks, this was my order and my reasoning too.
You can live with the flat-earther even if annoying. They are kooky but not necessarily dangerous.
The mormon you can fuck and leave without guilt, no worries there. People can't change the way they were raised and hopefully you can help them get some perspective in the meantime.
The Scientologist has to go immediately, no question. Don't fuck crazy.
