Shouldn't it be 'bringeth'?

I tried looking up -theth and didn't get anywhere on the first page of Google... not saying the info's not there, just looking a bit hard to find.

On the other hand, ours is only one of 4 links Google finds (that it doesn't consider redundant) spelling it 'bringetheth'...

I've always assumed this spelling is a joke. The intentional kind

Jokes with the spelling (and using a slang) is the good way to drive away non-english speaking peoples from the site.

BDR, shouldn't you be against proper spelling, with that avatar?

That's right! I'm about to start rioting unless all 'English' speakers around here stop using their unfair advantages over my puny self. All French speakers from France proper, unite! (Assuming you have all the proper credentials and all that) It's time to live the revolution baby!

Okay, so I'm an army of one.

You're French?? I had no idea - Your English is so idiomatic (like Briareos) that I had always assumed that you were from these islands.

I'm in the process of establishing links between my school and a school in Paris at the moment, so I'm trying to learn French (You put me to shame.)

In all honesty, I think that what is most likely to drive people of any race away is in-fighting, negativity and quarrelsomeness and what in Scotland we would call 'girning'. Fortunately this site is not prone to any of that.

You're Scottish? I had no idea--your English is so idiomatic that I had always assumed that you were from an English-speaking country.

It's called "irony". Deal with it.

Really, I just thought the look of him fit (if not the attitude)...

The trick here is somebody mentions surrendering.
