To the layman, however, the law often seems a highly technical, bewildering mystery, with its antiquated and sometimes impenetrable jargon, obsolete procedures, and interminable stream of Byzantine statutes, subordinate legislation, and judgments of the courts. Lawyers tend to look backwards. The doctrine of precedent, hallmark of the common law, dictates that what has gone before is what now should be, thereby affording a measure of certainty and predictability in a precarious world.
Raymond Wacks Law A Very Short Introduction
Dick's Hero by Blanche Atkinson, illustrations and cover art uncredited, previous owner's inscription dated 1906.
archaic spelling delights me. I’m reading “discourse of western planting” by Richard hakluyt for a class and here are my favorite words he uses
“Ymployment” (employment) and “ymploye”
“Theefe” (thief) also “thevinge”
“Yron” for iron
“Mayneteynaunce” (maintenance)
“Olyves” (olives)
“Lymons” (lemons)
“Hony” (honey)
“Frutes” (fruits)
“Lazye” (lazy)
“Certen”
“Goodd” (it is consistently spelled like this)
“Upp”
“Nowe” (now)
“Fisshinge” and “fishe”
“Quantitie”
“Wyne” (wine)
“Codde” (cod)
“Poonishinge” (punishing)
“Longe” (long)
How to use Thou, Thee, Thy, and Thine correctly
For SOME REASON (*looks pointedly at Agnes Nutter*) this comes up a lot in the Good Omens fandom and I thought it might be useful to have a reference out there for folks who are interested!
(And to be clear: I personally do not think it is a big deal if you don’t get it right, I’m not here for judging anyone’s ability to correctly use pronouns that went out of fashion several centuries ago. But I know people like to know this stuff.)
1. Thou & Thee
The difference here is the same as the difference between I & Me or She & Her - the first one is the subject of the sentence (doing the action) and the second one is the object of the sentence (having the action done to them). So the pattern is:
“I gave her a flaming sword” vs “She gave me a flaming sword.”
“Thou gave me a flaming sword.” vs “I gave thee a flaming sword”
“Thou gave her a flaming sword” vs “She gave thee a flaming sword”
2. Thy & Thine
Similarly, the difference here is the same as between My & Mine and Her & Hers.
“I gave away my flaming sword!”
“Thou gave away thy flaming sword?!” (Greek Chorus: ”She gave away her flaming sword??!”)
“It was mine to give away!”
“And it was also thine to keep...” (Greek Chorus: “And hers to lose, and hers to seek...”)
3. BUT SOMETIMES THE AESTHETIC
You do sometimes use “thine” in places where grammatically it should be “thy”, for the same reason as the most famous example of using “mine” in a place where it should be “my”:
MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD
-- simply because “eyes” starts with a vowel and “my eyes” is slightly more difficult to sing when you’ve got important grape-trampling to be getting on with. So a Mighty Angel Of The Lord who was feeling particularly poetic and hoping to inspire a few songs might appear before some poor goatherder and declare:
“Avert thine eyes oh mortal, lest thy sight be robbed from thee by glory!”
But honestly, just like most modern songs are quite happy using “my eyes”, I personally think if you just stick to the one rule to avoid confusion, it’s also fine:
“Avert thy eyes oh mortal, lest thy sight be-- wait where art thou going get back here I’ve got a message to deliver-- oh bugger.”

Do the benefits of reading children's classics outweigh their outdated thinking on social issues?
I am adamantly opposed to any kind of censorship. This article is not one-sided, however, and expresses varied points of view. As such, it’s useful for stimulating and informing our formulation of our own ideas on the subject.
