Hi I don't know if this will work, but I thought we could try
a thread where only "King James Version" English can be used :)


So jump in at any time and practice those thees, thous and thys!
Assuming auto correct doesn't keep trying to correct it. :D
 
Hello good friends, wherefore have thou been today?

Hast thou eaten and drinketh well today?

(sorry might have got a bit Shakespeare in there :D)
 
Hey who maketh fun of the King.

Im just practicing that which I knoweth (lol)
 
thou showest thy imagination! Surely I will I go forth now to prepareth the oveneth
 
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
 
Sounds more like a Shakespeare thread. :rolleyes:

Dost thou not know that Shakespeare and King James liveth at the same time? Therefore, their proper English would be of the same bounty. Why dost thou worry whether it is Shakespeare or our beloved King James?
 
Okay okay umm... Thou hast spoken truth from thine own lips and yea shall produce the fruits of the spirit....

Sorry Im not the best at this lol

I think shakespeare was around when king james english was being spoken.

Um I mean... Thou thinkest shakespeare doth speaketh ye olde english. :rolleyes:
 
Would thou take a gander at mine words? yea must always be true and faithful in thine heart and seek Thy Lord's own heart for blessed are they that pant for Kings inner most dwelling of love.
 
Oh fair knights and maidens; knowest thou not that the suffix -eth and -est is only at the end of certain verbs? Also the word "wherefore" is more in kinship to the word "Why" than it is to "Where".

The high elder tongue of English, for sooth it doth lay waste to the knavish modern tongue of the youth uncouth. For certes, of a truth, Shakespeare is not the one to lookest upon for learning the ancient art of this wordcraft. Peasants are so fond of clichés, but if you want to parlay in the tongue of high kings then peradventure thou shalt espy the knights' nobelesse fair speech as written by Sir Tomas Mallory.
