You have a great memory, Lhuna! I enjoyed going back to the CbC discussion to which you linked! And I enjoyed seeing how you pointed out Aragorn's admirable qualities because of the way he handled the situation. (I think "swoon-worthy" was the technical term you used?!

) We did touch on the use of "thee/thou" briefly back then, but there were so many other aspects to the discussion that I didn't remember.
