Re: This place has potential....
A few years back I was at a leaving do for a workmate and it turned out he had a real interest in regional dialects and phrases. He told us that at one time (not that long ago) the use of 'thee' and 'thou' was ubiquitous in Northern England - from Irish Sea to North Sea in effect - great swathes of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Northumberland etc. Now the usage is confined to small pockets of Yorkshire and those pockets are shrinking.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.
