Translated:

Truly, truly, no lie is present.

Verily thou dost speaketh thine truth, in front of all present company.

*doth

... also, I think 'speaketh' would be redundant with the 'doth' in front of it, by middle English rules, it would be 'doth speak' or 'speaketh'... but I'm not 100% sure on that.

... also, also, 'before', not 'in front of', I think.

=P

alternatively, psuedocode!

fr.magnitude = 2

for each i in fr.magnitude, do:

statement.cap = FALSE

end

'Skibidi' is more or less the same thing as the XD So Random!!! crowd deciding to just blurt out 'Pickle!' or 'Cupcakes!' or some other random word, about 20-15ish years ago.

Nah dost is correct but it's "thou dost speak" Or "thou speakest/speakst"

3rd person is "he/she/they doth speak" Or "he/she/they speaketh"

Ah, ok, I was kinda close, kinda wrong.

Much appreciated, especially in the event I get timewarped back into the 1600s and do not immediately die from all the ambient diseases, lol.
