happyhappyjoyjoy Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Is there any logical explanation for this, or is it just an exception? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I believe it's just an exception, but it's an easy one to remember: English words don't end in i, u, or v, but you and I are special. (As in, you and me, kid. We're special. To remember the actual words "you" and "I". ;) Cheesy but it works. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Apparently the old English word was eow. Not sure how we wound up with the modern spelling but there's an interesting discussion of the word's etymology here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
