Usage notes

  • When the pronoun thou was in common use, it was specifically singular (and often specifically informal). However, in current use, where thou survives as an archaism, this distinction is not actively maintained, and many speakers treat thou simply as an archaic synonym of you, enabling thyselves to be coined as a pseudo-archaic synonym of yourselves.
