Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don’t like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I’ve seen, they use “we”. I don’t necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech… but then I also want to go back to using “thou” for second person singular, so I’m probably not qualified to speak on the matter.
Hmm, i tried to make a joke about thanking both parent posters, which makes them a plural noun, which makes thou wrong as it is only used for singular.
But i guess i was wrong in an orthogonal dimension as well.
“It saw” ?
Its pronouns are it/its.
Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be “I saw” and “I think”, regardless of its pronouns in third person.

Nope. Thou is just superior. The fact there is no distinction between second person singular and plural is fucked up.
Ok, i’m on board. Thank thou two
Not sure but I think it should be thank thee.
Edit: Yeah pretty sure

Nah I missed that joke because I misread two as to. As in thank me as well
Yeah that’s what confused me
*its (not it’s)
Edit: actually the whole thing should be:
its pronouns are it/it
(first “it” corresponds to “he”, “she”,
second “it” corresponds to “him”, “her”)
nah second it would also correspond to he or she
“that’s cute but him thinks gnome also deserves some love too” doesn’t work. it just has to correspond to he or she in the second one
That was autocorrect ¬_¬
