Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Neat linguistic Easter Egg in The Silmarillion:
In the prelude, the era before the creation of the Earth, Iluvatar addresses one of the Ainur, Melkor (the rebel),
Twice, saying each time, "… and THOU, Melkor,…", which is canon the pronoun one uses for a social inferior …
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
But its most infamous use was in 1603 in the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh, where the prosecutor descends from formally "you"-ing Raleigh into "thou"-ing him, finally concluding with "I THOU thee, thou traitor!"
Thus the mighty ignominy heaped upon the Enemy by Iluvatar with but one word
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
We should start using "Thou" to refer to Trump, Musk, and Co
