Hi...sorry about the typo...especially since I've submitted this one for
publication. :)
I use thee, because my grandmother used thee, as well as, other members of
my maternal and paternal family, including both parents.

Hi Deborah,
Welcome to a slightly and I mean only slightly more sane list.
Re your sonnet,
I wonder why you are using the archaic form *thee*?
The sonnet seems to bring out this type of language in people for some
strange reason. Also, typo in line 7 should be radiant, but then as listees
will tell you, I am just a nitpicker.
