Thank you Beamdog writers for Dynaheir's better grammar

Whelp, I've barely started the beginning of Siege of Dragonspear with Dynaheir, but so far, she hasn't made any grammatical errors with her pronouns and verbs in her Elizabethan English in her new lines.
I just wanted to say a thanks to whichever writer made the effort to have Dynaheir use correct grammar, which she should. Almost every line in her original lines was grammatically incorrect, and the constant errors made me cringe.
The one thing is that I wish her selection sound "Thy called" had been rewritten and revoiced while you had the actress on hand. Every time she says that, I cringe and think, "My *what* called, and what thing of mine do you think called me? I was calling for THEE." (What she means is "Thou hast called?, probably with the "e" in the "-ed" pronounced aloud in "call-ed", as two syllables.)
Anyway, thanks for making some effort to get that right. And I'm really enjoying hearing all the old voice actors again with all their new lines.

I just wanted to express that I think "ye olde english" should be used correctly if it's going to be used, and I always appreciate the effort to do so.
No, I don't think Dynaheir's original bad grammar was intentional. I think the original writers used "Ye olde butcherede English", and didn't know any better, as so many writers don't.
But if people want to argue about it, much less start insulting current writers, then I shouldn't have even brought it up. You know what, just close the thread, please. I don't want to worry about it, and the last thing this forum needs is another flame war.
Oh, and @BelgarathMTH, joluv's post was definitely a joke, not actually an attack. Unless you were also joking. Jokeception, etc.
Anyway, I withdraw my request to have the thread closed, although there's probably not much more to say about it.
Bottom line: I like Dynaheir's new writing, and I like everything I've experienced so far with the new writing for old characters.
It's what she would've wanted, as a legacy, y'know, before the whole BG2 thing...
My spirit is shattered, and I may just restart the game with a different party, and hopefully wait for a patch.
Can't do anything about this now, I suppose.
