Whomself / Whoself

[edit]

I've been unable to find any evidence that these are real words. A quick Google search turned up two instances: this page, and a thread on WordReference.com, discussing whether it is a word (apparently with consensus in the negative). Marking it cite needed for the present. Can a more knowledgeable linguist remove these references or provide more information? Phildonnia (talk) 15:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "thou" pronoun

[edit]

Although largely obsolete, it remains the unique 2nd person singular pronoun in English, in addition to "you"'s estabilishment as the 2nd person pronoun but in the singular form. I do not possess a tangible source to assert "thou" and derivates as being frequently used in informal and formal modern english alike, however I believe it is worthy of a mention in a pronouns chart. I merely do not know how to assemble a chart in Wikipedia, my humblest apologies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.90.37.136 (talk) 13:41, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
