a long time since I parsed a sentence. (As you probably can tell from my posts)In fact, in those days it was called diagraming a sentence. But, without looking it up, here is my take on the "Thy" VS "Thine" question. Just from the way they're used: Thy acts like an adjective, modifying a noun, as in "Thy neighbor" Thine acts like an adverb, modifying an adjective, as in "To thine own self be true" (own being the adjective that modifies the noun self) So, based only on that, seems like "Thy" is correct. You can now rest peacefully, knowing you have not upset the dieties of Grammar Universe. Later

I always thought KTE stood for Know Thy Elitist.

Now Now. Please take that kind of stuff to the Red Light Forum. I was just trying to be nice to the guy, answering the question that has obviously had him up at night for a long time. Memo to self: Stop sounding like a freaking elitist. Later

I have a question: Is there where KTE's are supposed to be started in the first place, or are they going to be moved there by a boss later?

Start in main forum. Squid will move them here when they're ready to be archived.
