Psalm 22 🧵 Why Have You Forsaken Me? To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.   My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? 2  O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
    and by night, but I find no rest. 3  Yet you are holy,
    enthroned on the praises[a] of Israel. 4  In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.

@Rosylone @grahamscheper It makes me happy to hear that.

@vicksterwrites @grahamscheper We still talk like that here in S Yorks. My Grandma was very broad.I remember doing a project at school recording her 🙂

Why does English not have a plural “you”? Well, it’s because “you” is already plural. The singular is “thou”. This was observed grammatically in Old English, when one person was þū and multiple people were ġē, but after the Norman invasion the plural became the polite form of address, and by the 1800s that became the nigh-universal standard. Nowadays, as a result, we have to reinvent the plural with contractions like “y’all”.

You can’t call yourself a fan of the Japanese until you’ve fallen in love with the Japanese Ambassador to the UK. This guy is a legend!

@vicksterwrites @grahamscheper Never actually thought about this but you are 100% right. It isnt just older people either, its common enough to be unremarked upon when speaking to people in Yorkshire.

@Irmenberga @KarlKolchak01 @grahamscheper How strange.

It was deliberate in many ways, I’m certain of it. My grandfather worked in one of the mines, my mother, his daughter went to the local grammar school in the ‘50’s and did elocution lessons which many of her generation were strongly encouraged to do and made to feel that it was better to speak with Received Pronunciation, proper BBC English as was and be embarrassed of sounding like they came from the area.

@stellacreasy @PatrickChristys @GBNEWS “Demanded”…, “temerity…” how embarrassing that this is how you choose to respond to their request.

The Presenter @PatrickChristys has demanded I respond asap to his outrage I attended a silent disco this weekend in Walthamstow and tweeted about it. Here’s my message- I dare him to show it to his viewers in full as my right of reply. @GBNEWS

@JohnsonBos29095 @grahamscheper I feel nostalgic now - I grew up relatively close to the South Yorkshire border and live in another part of Yorkshire now where the old dialects are less common.

@vicksterwrites @grahamscheper Still the case in South Yorkshire. Tha for thou. And 'is that pint mine or thine?' and 'Thee bollocks!'

Absolutely correct. Men (mostly miners/ex-miners) would also call each other “love”, in the same way they might say “mate” or “pal” and in was perfectly normal and manly but people from outside the area thought it was odd. Over the border in South Yorkshire, seem to recall “duck” being used in a similar way.

@KarlKolchak01 @vicksterwrites @grahamscheper I'm so glad you said that cos I thought I remembered that,but I wasn't sure 😁 and if I remember rightly, thou would be used affectionately or between people who knew each other, but they'd say you in more formal contexts?

@michaeljknowles @benrcrenshaw Four of us being received/baptised at the Easter Vigil at my small church in northern England on Saturday! Many hundreds more across the diocese apparently.

@benrcrenshaw Cradle Catholics fall away, but conversions are increasing dramatically—just as Tocqueville observed and predicted nearly two centuries ago!

Never bet against the Holy Spirit.

What happens if you say that and someone gets offended? Best answer EVER! 😂😂😂

29  All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
    before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
    even the one who could not keep himself alive. 30  Posterity shall serve him;
    it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; 31  they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn,
    that he has done it. End of 🧵

26  The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;
    those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
    May your hearts live forever! 27  All the ends of the earth shall remember
    and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
    shall worship before you. 28  For kingship belongs to the Lord,
    and he rules over the nations.
