Learned from a new blog called Evolving English, Old English used the word “hi” or “hie” for third person plural. The vikings changed that around 1200 A.D. “The word ‘they’ was introduced into English by Viking settlers and completely replaced the original Old English word,” according to a language quiz on the British Library’s new language blog. “They” is obviously a better word than “hi.” Who could dispute that?

I scored 4/6 on each difficulty level, which tended to skew toward British English, but I’m not going to complain. No, I’m not.
