Ah but there's a proper grammar to that kind of English. Anybody brought up on the King James Bible knows it.

'Whence didst thou came, and whence goeth thou and thy friend? I thinke that thee walkest in a wrong direction!!'

should be:

'Whence didst thou come, and whence goeth thou and thy friend? I thinke that thou walkest in a wrong direction!!' (Shakespeare would use "contrary" instead of "wrong")

But that's all quibble.

Then again, linguistics and philology are all about quibbles!

I'm gonna have to say you're right, I've always been messing arround with my Times in English, and using that Thee instead of Thou was just a bad mistake of me...*sigh*.... That one was just stupid...

I'm often using wrong times because in Dutch, which is my best language, "I cycled" and "I have cycled" mean exactly the same, in English it's different, now af course using came instead of come is quit different from that.... ah well....


I thanke thee for thy most friendly improving of my wrong English. Where hast thou learned such a beautifull English?

Thou art most welcome. As to where, none other than the KJV and Shakespeare. They were contemporaries, of course. Ah but thou knowest, am I right, sirrah?
