also re the KJV thing everyone keeps bringing up in the notes of the Thou post:
i don’t have time to look this up and i’d be fascinated if anyone can confirm or debunk it, but when I was an RS-and-linguistics-interested teenager I was taught that the use of ‘thou’ for God in the KJV is intentionally/diagetically surprisingly informal, and that this was a translation choice made to capture the Vibes of the surprisingly informal language used by Jesus in the text they were translating from when he was teaching the Lord’s Prayer.
