And yes we have it set to automatically record It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I know how anxious you are to learn these things so here goes:
Thee and Thou are singlular forms of the pronoun "you." The difference is that "thee" is always an object, where "thou" is always a subject. For example:
"for the LORD thy God is with thee (object of a preposition) withersoever thou goest (subject of a phrase)." (Joshua 1:9)
Note that this is the SINGULAR form of the pronoun. Consider the modern English translation:
"for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Looking at that phrase we don't know if the audience is a single person or a group of people. I've often thought that the speaker was addressing a number of people, but looking at the passage, this is God talking to Joshua, not about the nation of Israel but about Joshua. He was reassuring Joshua that He would be with him as He was with Moses. This is a very personal moment between Joshua and God, and unfortunately, out of context one cannot tell that from the modern translation.
Moving on, ye and you are both plural forms of the pronoun "you." The difference is that "you" is an object, and "ye" is the subject. For example:
"with what measure ye mete (subject of a phrase), it shall be measured to you (object of a preposition) again." - Matthew 7:2
Here we find Jesus addressing the throngs at the Sermon on the Mount. He uses the plural ye and you because he's talking to many, not just one. Here's the NIV translation of the same passage:
"with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Similarly, thy and your both mean "your," but "thy" is the singular and "your" is the plural. (See Joshua 1:9 above).
Consequently, as much as people rail against the King James these days, it becomes apparent to me that it is still a useful volume, primarily because we do not have separate forms of the word "you." Whether speaking to one or to many, it's "you." And whether the subject of a sentence or the object of a phrase, it's "you." This is not an argument for the King James Only side (of which I do not consider myself), but rather a recommendation to take consideration when saying that the King James is a "bad" translation. And knowing these simple rules of grammar make it easier to understand and, at times, more meaningful out of context.
