The app for independent voices

I know I write in an archaic style to fit my world but… GUYS! There are some INCREDIBLY useful words we’ve left behind from Early Modern English!

  • Yon/yonder

  • Whence/thence/hence

  • Wither/thither/hither

  • The entire singular pronoun declension (thou, thy, thine)

  • Ye

  • Hie

  • Fain

  • Wherefore/whereof (they don’t mean what you think — they’re very nuanced)

Can we bring back just a few of these? Maybe we get the youth involved! Start a movement!
