TheEnigmaticT: As a side note, the lack of a good second person plural pronoun in English vexes me again. (Y'all? Youse guys?) For a language with so many words, it's silly English doesn't have that one.

SirPrimalform: It does have one... In fact, you used it in your previous post. :P

Technically speaking, you is primarily a plural, being a descendant of ye. As bazilisek pointed out further up the page, it's a T-V distinction where the plural starts being used as a singular for superiors, then progresses to being general purpose formal and eventually it gets to the point where the original singular (thou in the case of English) falls out of use completely. So you is technically speaking the plural and T should really be lamenting the lack of singular. :P

I suppose the main problem is that a language changes according to how "the people" speak it, and "the people" doesn't give a damn about consistent rules in grammar :-D

The whole disappearance of thou thing can be blamed on the French (stupid Norman conquest D=<). It happened in French too, but they never got as far as actually forgetting about tu completely.

So anyway, back to Hostile Waters. How come GMG is selling it?
