 To call God a "stickler" is simply inappropriate.

Just as we address our Creator with Thee and Thou, we need to be cautious in how we talk about God.  This is what I think.

I apologize.  It is my opinion that God does not care about language nor dialect.  I find it slightly amusing to think the creator of man and the universe would have a preference for ye olde English.  I would think true reverence is all that is required.  But what do I know?

I've been doing a lot of work on my computer analysis project.  I think many of you will be interested in this.  Here's the latest post.  http://www.churchistrue.com/blog/book-of-mormon-stylometry-l-voice/

I am putting forward the "Three Voice Hypothesis" of the Book of Mormon.  

Starting with Mosiah in Mosiah Priority order, I see two major trends.  

1. The distinction of S Voice (sermon) and N Voice (narrative).  I believe these have very strong word pattern distinctions.

2. A trend that starts about the beginning of Helaman, which I call L Voice (Late).  Some mistake this for Nephi's voice, but actually it starts much earlier and ramps up fairly evenly.

I also did a little bit on EModE and Hebraisms, which of special interest to many of you.
