re: #595 Pie-onist Overlord

Thee, thou and thy are archaic forms that a lord used to address the peasants. You and your were how the peasants were supposed to address the lord. As society became more egalitarian, the “peasant” forms of address were abandoned.

A distinction preserved in various continental languages, bien sur.
