<HTML>The \"US made\" Robin (of Loxley) Hood films sound awful in American English. I live in Sheffield which actually has a Loxley village. The \"wherefore haileth thou from o\' round one?\" (or whatever it was) with reference to Friar Tuck, sounds disjointed in either US English or English English. Ditto all period films using \"old English\".
The \"thee\" and \"thou\" however still exists in our local dialect and is regularly used in Sheffield and large parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire. \"What\'s wrong wi\' thee?\" ie \"What is the matter with you\", is just part of our language and is far from dead. Unfortunately it only sounds good to us when we use it ourselves. Imposters are easily identified and quietly ridiculed.
As far as Das Boot is concerned the subtitles were very helpful even though I speak a little German, due to the slang used. Lastly, about Das Boot, the \"Stuka\" terror sirens in the attacking planes at the end? (American planes I gather, because there were no Typhoons left in flying trim) A mistake or a neccessary effect? Sorry if this has been asked already, I\'ve only just found this wonderful site.</HTML>
