    Yeah I’m not understanding your argument either. Are you arguing that “you” is not a second person singular in Modern English? It sounds like you are but then you also are using it currently so I’m confused.

        Okay so your argument is basically that language never changes and never evolves? Because it wasn’t a second person singular 300 years ago it can’t be one today? All right. That seems silly but you do you.

            For the life of me I can’t understand you why you keep linking the same Wikipedia page to a word nobody is talking about. You’re continually making the argument that the word you is not a second person singular while still using the word you as a second person singular. Thou art utterly absurd. I’m going to block you now.
