Bonus Lesson
It hath come to my attention that there is a detail that is not entirely clear in Lesson 2, so now as my duties as a Knight dictate I shall vanquish all lack of clarity. Here it follows:
Concerning the usage of mine and thine as possesive adjectives in place of my and thy respectively, 'tis the correct usage in some cases, but not always. If thou usest it in other cases, that would be improper Olde Speech.
As explained in Lesson 2, when the following word beginneth wih a vowel or a silent h, mine/thine will be used in the stead of my/thy. However, when the word beginneth with a consonant mine/thine should not be used. My/thy will be used normally. A couple of examples will follow:
- It's thine apple, not thy apple.
- It's thy banana, not thine banana.
