The second person personal pronouns:
Nominative singular: Thou
Nominative plural: Ye
Objective singular: Thee
Objective plural: You
Dating from the Middle Ages in England, the plural form for the second person pronoun began to be used to show respect to superiors, then for equals as a courtesy. As the new world became inhabited by English settlers, these pronouns came with them. Eventually, this practice fell into disuse (perhaps a sign of an evolving culture) except in certain communities in England and Pennsylvania, and among the Quakers. By the beginning of the 20th century, the use of the singular/plural forms had almost disappeared with the exception of some very rural communities and the Quakers.
Today, the second person 'you' is used for singular and plural, subjective and objective.
