... it's hideous.

Throw your trident down and demand that the Christian sacrifices you as an offering to the Emperor. I know, fra', but trust me. They hate that.

50% of THE WORLD. You're dead because I don't believe anywhere near 50% of China or India cares about most of this list. This is a list of American issues.

I think you're right. I didn't think the "helper words" in the conditional should get conjugated, but I grabbed a Book of Common Prayer off the shelf and there's a bunch of "thou shalt" + infinitive, so evidently the conditional does get conjugated (in addition to "thou didst" and "thou hast".) Pretty sure I noticed some 2nd person weak verbs that looked like they had the same conjugation as the 3rd person (eg "Remember thou keep holy ...") I did note "he cometh", so maybe that -eth ending is actually an older conjugation for the 3rd person that later morphed into an -s ending? Just noticed "he saith (says)", and the confirmed -eth ending on a bunch of 3rd person congregations. Interestingly, I found a LOT of "thou shalt", some "thou wilt", but no "thou couldst" or "thou wouldst". Probably because the BCP is all like, "you WILL, this is not an option, sinner."

I don't know though! I'm a typical English first language speaker and I'm just going with what feels right and using my understanding of grammar from my French education.

We actually do have a second person singular, "thou." We just transitioned out of using it because 'politeness'. Thou could useth the second person singular, but thou would soundeth quite archaic. (Think I conjugated that correctly.) You can still see it used in some religious texts in reference to God.

No way. That dress is cute AF! I'd totally notice a woman wearing that, and be impressed with her style.

That being said, IMO clothes are one of those things we do NOT pay what they're worth, or respect for construction and materials. It would take a special person to see the value and be willing to pay for it.

Would working with a boutique fashion store in a stylish city be a possibility?

Those are clearly sweet peppers.

Oh, I can sense engineers freaking out.

Pourquoi? Est-ce que vous connaissez?

Would it have been noticeable to people at the time?

Fuck off, Meta. My children tell me they want to try cigarettes, driving, using an excavator, and rifles and every time I fail to consider their voices. Actually, I consider it and the answer is an easy, "no." Considering the evidence, social media like FB appears to be quite deleterious to people's mental health, young people in particular.

Why? Is it the McAlpine? Pretty sure that one of the first kings of Scotland was Cinead (Kenneth) McAlpine.
