Talk:Writ to the Romers

On the speak (language style)
Someone recently changed all the verbs in this writ to the archaic English "thou" form. I would like to remind everyone that while individual oversettings may be tinkered with or argued over, it is not the goal of Anglish to return to some "golden age" of English history. If that were the case, we'd likely switch over to Old English, before all the confounded "borrowing" began. Rather, it is our goal to cleanse the English language of as many foreign influences as can be, especially words of Latinish (Latin, French, etc.) and Hellenic (Greek) origin. Since the archaic "thou" form was not insteaded to the contemporary "you" form because of an outside influence, but instead was lost naturally over time, it is not a goal of Anglish to use this archaic form.

Of course, should an oversetter of the Bible wish merely to overset an archaic English translation of the Bible- such as the Authorized King James Version- and not update the speak, that would be acceptable. However, this was not the case for this writ; I personally overset a number of sections in this writ directly from the Greek. Gr8asb8 (talk) 01:22, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
