Hi, Anton!  Recently you wrote in a message to Dallas Hinton:

DH>  The word "thee" is a pronoun and is an "archaic or
DH>  dialect" (Oxford) way to say "you" when "you" is a
DH>  singular object [...].

AS>  If by `object' thou meanest the objective case, 
AS>  then I agree with thee.


         Verily, verily I say unto thee:  thou hast interpreted Dallas's words just as I would & provided us with a fine example of their application.
  
         As native speakers of English we don't think in terms of cases unless we're dealing with more highly inflected languages such as Latin or German, in which students may be called upon to memorize +/- six variations.  The English language has eliminated many such distinctions and while my GAGE CANADIAN does identify the remainder as "case forms", the term is AFAIK rarely used....  :-)
