Me too, upfi!

Actually, it should read:
“Shakespearean Kitteh giveth a yowl,
Approving not of thy grammar most foul!”
Take it from a Rennie…
=^..^=
Oar “approveth not of thy grammar foul”
We habbin chikin fur noms??
Needz wun moar silluhbool to make iambic pentameter!
=^..^=
Iz lambic pentameter wen teh baby sheeps is in a 5-sided corral?
And while nonetheless funny, itz an ironic parameter wen it relates tew teh correct constructs of a language liek lolspeak.
Awwwwwww….deh picher in deh hed ub liddlol lamz in a cral.
“I approveth not of thy grammar foul” ?
Egad! Forsooth! A burger for thee!

lemme tweak that a little:
“Shakespearean Kitteh doth emit a yowl,
Approving not thy grammar–’tis most foul!”
not sure it’s ok to drop the “of,” but now the rhythm’s right, anyway!
Wuz thinking it wuz “thine.” Now am nawt shur wut form “thine” is. Iz plural form? Must pull owt KJV bybol.
Owateaminnut, “thine” iz nawt sekund persun ifinkso. nebermind…
Nope. “Thine” is possessessive, is “yours” in moddun lankwitch. Trust a silleh littlol German on dis wun who lubs to sing “Thine be the glory …”
ai fink iz
thine ya’ll
foar teh pluhrul. ai cud bee rong tho.
*snerk*
That was exactly my reaction just now, Annipuss!
Indeed, Anni, the post doth reek of lack of knowledge of Elizabethan English. As a British Renaissance Lit major, I salute your superior smarts!
Yeah, or even “thine” foul grammar…
nope- thine is plural. Thy is singular.
well, if you want to get picky…
“approveth not of thy foul grammar” is correct.
thine foul grammar
No, thine is not plural. “Thy” is correct here, but thine is (as has been mentioned) for the pronoun form (“this is thine,” similar to “this is yours”). However, it’s also appropriate to say “thine” before a noun phrase beginning in a vowel (similar to the modern a/an distinction). Thus: “thine odious grammar.” Would you say “an foul grammar?” Nope!
The funniest part–people have pointed out the irony of pointing out grammar in a lolcat forum using poor elizabethan, but what everyone has missed is that this is before grammar and spelling were standardized by academics. That happens a century later when people try to apply mathematical logic to language (which does not work!). Thus, Shakespeare kitteh wouldn’t give one whit what grammar you used, except perhaps to make fun of you. In that case, all for it!

gammacat we all knows dat love wif teh kittehs iz a sport that shall endure.
An thinkz yu kan nawt spell gud either.
‘Cept Shakespearean spelling was so variable, and played so much wif werds, it fits rigth in wif lolspeke.
Mybii dey shuld teech lolspeke in skool befor dey reed Shakepear.
Ha! Dat wuld help gratly! Kudos to yu, 3km!
‘Tis troo…we even reference LOL-speek when giving language workshops prior to Ren-Faire. Elizabethan English was very changeable, especially when addressing people of different social classes. Middle English is even more challenging, as it still has a lot of the Germanic language structure.

Shakespeer kitteh says “Skewz me, ai em tryin to reehearse here!”
Qwakur-Kitteh respecfuly offrs Thee-Thou lessin:
Thou/Thee is famiyar forme of “You” like teh Frenchh “Tu”. Dat’s why we ‘dress Ceiling Cat as “Thee” or “Thou”, cause we luvs hims and he luvs uz. Hoomins says “Lords’ Prayer” wif Dee and Dow in dere religun fur same reesin. Peeps getz teh mixed up cause dey tink Ceiling Cat iz sooo high & mitey. Noooooo. CC iz ar friend. Hoomins should ‘dress kittehs as “you” until theys ar purmited to use “Dow” and “Dee”. Teh excepshun iz if hooomin raized liddle babeh kitteh frum neer birf. Kittehs of course ‘dress hoomins as famiyar Dow and Dee. ‘Kay?
Dow iz subjek. Like “Dow art knot takin meh to vet ist dow? Oh noes!!

Respekfully dat kitteh in pictur shld say “Die poore grmmmer” Die iz pasessiv prownaown.
Peace bees wif eech ones of dee.
Qwakur-Kitteh

No, aifinkiz case of mistaken identity, az I livs in New York. But I iz still glads to meet thee.
I iz happeh to meet dee also too. Dis onlee secund tyme I talk to peeps on ICHC. Iz shy. Tank’ee.
a clarification: the difference btwn. “thy” & “thine” works exactly like “a” & “an”–”thy nose” but “thine eyes.” “thine” can also work like “mine”–” ’tis thine.”

Except that would be ‘thy grammar’.
and “doth not approve” (or maybe “approveth not”). Definitely not “dost.” One of my pet peeves when people try to speak “Shakespearean.” Anyway, the -st ending is for the second person familiar.
YES! You are so right! That is one of my pet peeves too!

lolspeak is not required in order to post. Many people enjoy using it because of the clever games it allows one to play with language. As people have pointed out above, the poetic license that Shakespeare took with language are not that dissimilar from lolspeak.
And somewhat similar to Benjamin Franklin’s phonetic laanjuij.

THY foul grammar.
Speaking of foul grammar …
How rude of the cat to use ‘thou’. We’ve not been introduced – and it’s ‘thy’, of course.
its THINE foul grammar, you fool!
Yesssssss! Finally our Börjesson made it to the ICHC frontpage! He haz now reached his life-time aspiration of 15 minutes of internets fame!
“…thy foul grammar…”
Shouldn’t it be “thy”?
Forsooth, it is THY foul grammar, vile nave!
I can’t speak lolcat right now, forgive me…
“Thine” and “Thy” are used in place of “Your”
Thine would be in front of a word that begins with a vowel, Thy in front of a word that begins with a consenant.
“Thou” is “You” :
Thou art a knave, thine eyes belie the evil in thy soul.
Got it?

Re: Shakespear kitteh Dost not approve of thou foul grammar (wouldst fowl be better?)
it should be “thy foul Grammer”
Geoffrey Chaucer kitteh wots wel yow al talk lyke Freynsche pigges.
maybee aftur da schoole of Strateforde-atte-Bowe? Ai fink da nonnes of S-a-B hadde teh mannie kittehs (or cattes). Kitteh-pigin iz lik da Middle English . . . it tickleth me aboute the hearte route!
(Ai iz such showe-off. Qwakur-kitteh stops teh nitting ta gentlee disaproov)
Duz dis calar mek me luk fat?
But Shakespear’s grammar was most foul.
“doth not approve of thy foul grammar”
kapshun upps…
*covers ears to avoid bad grammar* “doth not approve of thy foul grammar.” I’ve heard mistakes like this, but THOU instead of THY? Never! “Thou” means “you”.
tis is funnie!!!hah hah haah!hiwarwius
wate tis dis funni?wate i can not wemembur
wate tis dis finnye
Actually, Shakespeare never gave a rat’s azz about grammar since he wrote before grammarians hijacked the language.
