Rusty, why do you call them "informal" if they are used in poetry and in the Bible?

He means 'informal' in the sense of 'personal', as the 2nd singular in Spanish, used for someone you know.

The 'you' construction was a formal = polite address, as the 3rd person sing and plural is in Spanish, but now used in English for everybody.

Then "thou" would mean "tú". I thought it meant "vos". Thanks.
