  1. 13:55 I do wish English had a plural form of you in common use. I don't miss ye/thee, but maybe yous would be good. I dunno.

  4. It's not possible to adapt the English language for consistent spelling by pronunciation across different dialects/accents. The fact that different dialects pronounce words differently means they would have to be spelled differently. Some sort of trade-off has to be done.

  11.  @karlfimm  I like exclusive or even sui generis. I'd rather English come up with a plural form of you first, though.

  12.  @farmerjohn6192  I'm well aware that "you" is plural. It just also happens to be the singular. Thee is an archaic equivalent of you, but thy is an archaic form of yours. I don't understand your point.
