It takes everything in me not to correct every time the apostrophe is used.

Regardless of opinion, there is no apostrophe in Founders Day as it pertains to Delta Sigma Theta. The memo was sent out years ago and it still stands.

You don't have to adhere to that but Sorors should. Period.

I have no idea what you are talking about in terms of the vs. thee. Thee is old English for you so there really shouldn't be misuse of thee in place of the. What you're probably hearing are church people trying to sound "good" and say THE wrong, lol.


Thou, Thee, Thine and Thy
Wikipedia's take

P.S. Stop trying to change the Bible, lol.

Maybe for Zeta but not for Delta which is why I said:

Founders Day, in the case of Delta Sigma Theta, does not need an apostrophe

Me too. I literally cringe to see it.

Ditto and ditto.
Forever and ever Amen.

The and thee mean two different things. LOL.

Thou and thine are supposed to mean "you" and "your(s)" right? LOL. Or is that just "you" as it refers to "God."


<-----Speaks in Bible language everyday. It's fun.

I've been guilty of this - the apostrophe in Founders Day.

Verily, I say unto thee, thy post is true. The is an article and thee/thine/thou/thy are pronouns.

Woman, thou art loose from grammatical errors.

Dang, I just went back to check my post in the Founders Day thread...I'm still licking my wounds from C in the Convention vs Nationals discussion...:o..:p

I cannot fool with thee.

Whoo whooo whoooo Each one teach one:cool:

Well she just typed what a lot of folks were thinking and she was right.

And you all took it without telling her to sit down somewhere. :D Tell her to sit down somewhere next time. :o

I understand what you are saying, CT4 and Chaos, but I was saying GRAMMATICALLY,it should be s apostrophe. If that is how your organization chooses to display it, then so be it.

I am a very junior grammar nazi and apostrophes make me itch...

lol

anywhoot, back to grammar pet peeves..

not thou art loose from grammatical errors.. lol.

Exactly.

hey I'm still a baby in Delta so I'm still learning...I can show deference as needed, I was "raised" well....plus she a'ight so I don't think she'd tell me anything wrong....lol....

[QUOTE=EXTRA4SHORT;1581370]what about the/thee? Sometimes in church, the hymnal says "the", but people pronounce it "thee".

I'm not certain this is what you were referring to. If not, ignore.

Whenever "the" appears before a word that begins with a vowel, it is pronounced using the long "e" sound (i.e. thee elephant). When "the" appears before a word that begins with a consonant, it is pronounced using the shwa sound. Hope this helps.
