Man. After my last two posts, this one is yet again about a news source misunderstanding the grammar of "thou." Specifically, Comcast News by way of Reuters writes "Thou shall" more than once at the beginning.

I thought most mainstream news sources were written at an eighth-grade level, with USA Today at a fourth-grade level. Hasn't the average fourth-grader heard at least one of the Ten Commandments in King James English?

In that case, they shouldn't have used even "Thou."
