I believe that if thou were to use what I believe some call "Shakespearean tongue", thou wouldst become entrapped in that speech pattern as well, for, over the past few days, I, myself, have usèd "thee"'s, "thou"'s, and much other speech of that sort. It much muddled the minds of those that I encountered who knew not of such speech.

Also: if thou didst not understand that all that is gold dost not necessarily glitter, look at Frodo. If thou wouldst notice, he did not glitter in the beginning, nor much in the end of the novel. That is to say, he did not stand out, for he was a Hobbit, and Hobbits did not enjoy adventures and heroes and the like. Bilbo, Merry, Pippin, and Sam also did not glitter. Bilbo, however, glittered the most, as thou shouldst agree! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Well, I am off now!
