Can you all please stop methinking.

[MardyBra]

It's not funny.

And we're not in the middle ages.

Thank you.

Oh, Malcolm, that is sad, he died from an AIDS related illness :(

I think the Methinkers are the ones who keep using 'tis too.

I googled Timothy Claypole. He appears to be after my time.

I like the odd tis and twas
Tis poetic, innit?
But then I also use innit far too much than I ought.

Prithee Sirrah, thou art so unreasonable!

Methinks thou should take the bug out of your ass.

I didn't know that Timothy Claypole was dead. 'Tis a real shame, methinks

Stealth boast, mardy, clearly you are much much younger than those of us who remember Timothy claypole.

It's not a stealth boast at all calculators. I was saying he's after my time. Kids' telly for me was John Noakes, Shep, Valerie Singleton, The Clangers and Fingermouse.

Yeah, I'd never heard of him either, Shep generation too. Still not old enough to warrant using archaic language (other than under the provocation of this thread).

Sorry, mardy, was only a joke as I thought you were saying you were too young I do remember Shep too.

"Methinks" doesn't mean "I think", so 99.9% of people who use "methinks" are using it incorrectly anyway

about Timothy Claypole.

Yanbu. And Olivia, tis and 'twas aren't poetic, they are annoying (sorry). You know what else is annoying? T'internet. It's in every mnhq 'don't send money to this poster' warning. It's not witty, it's completely dated and it's also very out of place in a serious message.
Sorry to bring it up now but it niggles me every time I see it!

I hate people writing 'Tis'. NO. NOT FUNNY.
