less than 1000 followers.. its literally one of the best (and least annoying!!!) podcasts out there .

I read the King James Bible kept the archaic thee to maintain the singular/plural distinction from the original languages.

Awesome

i cant believe how underrated this podcast is

This is such a wonderful story. Well done and agreed Kevin.

Been a loyal listener since Episode One, more than ten years ago. Kevin, I want you to know that your podcast inspired me to go to college in my 50's. Studied abroad in England. Walked across the stage for the first time this year! I'm gonna keep going for my masters and doctorate. This week, I'm applying to universities in England. Notions of school were overwhelming for me, until I found your engaging and approachable content. Without gushing too much over you, I hope you see this, because, I want you to know about some of the random lives you've touched. Don't change a thing!!!

20:54 I would really question if _you all_ used in Elizabethan English was some sort of plural (restricted to three or more) for _you._ It seems like it was really used to mean “you collectively” or “you entirely.” There were no instances of Elizabethans saying things like “we all,” “us all,” “they all” or “them all”? The _all_ in those phrases doesn’t mean “more than one”-those pronouns are already plural. It means, again, something more like “together” or “every one of the group.” There’s no reason to think that _you all_ would have meant something different.

Brilliant.

Those examples of _bred_ and _bread_ and _week_ and _weak_ are examples of how the talk of the “risk” of people confusing _bite_ with _beet_ in the first part of this series strike me as a bit of hand-waving. It wasn’t like people were going through wordlists as they made these changes, figuring out which vowel changes they could get away with without confusion-they simply made the changes unconsciously and, in some cases, such as with words like _great_ and _steak,_ haphazardly.

Thank you!

Hello. What is the name of the song played in the begging of the vídeo? Thanks.

And "thy" and "you" having different levels of formality is fascinating.

This is a fantastic podcast, I'm studying literature from this era right now and the "my" "mine" explanation was so helpful! 😊

But stress is NOT the same as intonation.
