minus-square@VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.worksMlinkfedilink2•1 month agoIf a human writer was behind this using a medieval flair, I would have used “thine” or “thy”. The “mine” is too close to the German “mein”. Unless the writer was doing a German renaissance thing.
minus-square@mobotsar@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-21 month agoWell “mine” is correct in English in e.g. “mine eyes” because “eyes” starts with a vowel sound. I don’t see any opportunity to use second-person pronouns like thine and thy in this passage; where would you have put those?
