>>>In the English language 'you' is written in the lower case.

>In the Russian language we have two forms of 'you' referring to a single person: "ty", which is used between kids or when an adult is talking with a yound child or between close friends and relatives, and "Vy", which is official and polite form to address a person.

In English there are officially the two forms: "Thou art" (as spoken in Shakespeare) and "you are", "You will" and "thou wilt", "You would" and "thou wouldst", "you can" and "thou canst", "you have" and "thou hast". And, in the accusative: "I love you" and "I love thee". Still used in wedding vows: "I, John Doe, take thee, Jane Dont..."

I wish we still used these to save confusion, e.g. talking to a group of people: "Did you enjoy the show?" -is it the person you're looking at or everyone who is/are being addressed?
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
