I give them a pass because they’re just kids and couldn’t know better- but one of my silly pet peeves is when people think they sound Shakespearean or Biblical by randomly sticking ‘eth’ on the ends of words. It was not random. Modern folks just don’t know when it was done, even though we sill use its replacement: the ‘s’ at the end of a verb. OLD STYLE: She findeth a guitar. NEW STYLE: She finds a guitar. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. It never goes anywhere else. UNLESS- your name is Elizabeth or something. Then go wild.
