Whomself / Whoself edit
I've been unable to find any evidence that these are real words. A quick Google search turned up two instances: this page, and a thread on WordReference.com, discussing whether it is a word (apparently with consensus in the negative). Marking it cite needed for the present. Can a more knowledgeable linguist remove these references or provide more information? Phildonnia (talk) 15:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Reality is less important than peer review. Welcome to Wikipedia 124.169.137.78 (talk) 12:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
The "thou" pronoun edit
Although largely obsolete, it remains the unique 2nd person singular pronoun in English, in addition to "you"'s estabilishment as the 2nd person pronoun but in the singular form. I do not possess a tangible source to assert "thou" and derivates as being frequently used in informal and formal modern english alike, however I believe it is worthy of a mention in a pronouns chart. I merely do not know how to assemble a chart in Wikipedia, my humblest apologies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.90.37.136 (talk) 13:41, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
