ReplyDeleteOh, they have that, for sure. But they don't have something for "thee" or "thou". :-)
One problem I've met with translations such as the KJV that use "thou" and "thee" is that even people who use them may not understand the significance.
ReplyDeleteSome thought that thou/thee were more "intimate" or "reverent" than ye/you. Not all realised it was just a case of singular versus plural, and even those who knew might miss the point in passages such as John 1:50-51 where the usage changes.

Charles, what makes Tominthebox so good is that so many of their spoofs are possible and only just beyond the realm of actuality. Indeed some aren't even beyond it, there are one or two I have seen and thought "Didn't you know that so-and-so is really doing this?"
