4Err, first person is I/we(/me/us), right? You/ye/thou/thee are second person and it's the 2nd person singular (thou/thee) that's obsolete?ilkkachu– ilkkachu2022-07-19 08:10:48 +00:00Commented Jul 19, 2022 at 8:10

@ikkachu sure is, see my comment answering tchrist. Also I hadn't realised that I'd made two errors. Comes of contributing to EL&U when I'm in bed and supposed to be going to sleep!BoldBen– BoldBen2022-07-20 06:25:59 +00:00Commented Jul 20, 2022 at 6:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
