![Medieval Underpants and Other Blunders: A Writer's (& Editor's) Guide to Keeping Historical Fiction Free of Common Anachronisms, Errors, & Myths [Third Edition] - Susanne Alleyn](http://booklikes.com/photo/max/200/300/upload/books/1/d/1d9c0b566239be1dfbea5ab12de59486.jpg)

McCOY: Leonard McCoy, ma'am.
T'PAU: Spock, thee names [incorrect: thou namest] these outworlders friends. How does thee [incorrect: dost thou] pledge their behavior?
