What Is Up With “Thou,” “Thee,” “Thy,” and “Thine”?

Except there is also a social connection to the use of these pronouns.  People of lower class or rank (see, also, the Great Chain of Being) used “you” to address those above them.  Similarly, the upper classes would have used “you” to each other.  ”Thou” was used by the upper class to address those beneath them.  Emotional situations, though, often caused them to change in unexpected and interesting ways.  ”You” had already begun to become ambiguous, though, by this time (clearly).
