Old ways of speaking

Do you think life would be more interesting if we spoke like old timers in the biblical times.
Using words like thee and thou and the classic Thine. Does thou agree or does thee not has thine anything 🤔 to say

Those aren't from Biblical Times. They're from Shakespeare's time when the King James Version of the Bible was put together. Water in London wasn't drinkable, it was mixed with wine or rum, and those guys were drunk as skunks.

Id have to carry a dictionary with me at all times.

The usage of “We” rather than “I” would get old. I do wish people had more of a vocabulary though. These days The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe or Alice and Wonderland is heavy reading for too many people 😅

@Banksy83 Actually, that would more readily refer to the Bible thumpers.

@Pretzel English is the only language that I know of which has lost its second person singular.
