🤜ARISE. G O FORTH AND FULFILL THINE DeSTINY🤛

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

I arose, went forth and put my recycling bin out. Was that my destiny?

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Um, ultra nit-picky grammar correction here. THINE refers to a proper noun. If you want to attribute ownership to the destiny you have to use THY.

So either - "ARISE. G O FORTH AND FULFILL THY DeSTINY" or "ARISE. G O FORTH AND DeSTINY wILL BE THInE".

Either one works. Not both.

Also, the whole THEE/THY/THINE thing is the intimate mode - for use between close friends, lovers and family members only. Think "tu" in French. The YOU/YOURS is more formal - suitable for strangers, grown ups and the government. Think 'vous' in French. Though calling a government (any) grown up is a bit of a stretch.

Last remnant (or nearly) of this sort of distinction in English.

Not enough hippos for that. Do you have access to a secret, sacred supply?
