That Dost is obviously the correct form

Shakespeare used it

"Dost thou...(etc)"

Ah. So. Archaic English, from the 1600s or so. Yeah, that is correct for that.

Mostly

Spelling wasn't legalized or agreed upon till the late 1700s.

Doest was correct for most middle English

You can say lame when you have leaned something about it. Go look up Rob Words on YouTube and go from there.

*bonk* bad. There is room for multiple things to be right. English is a stupid-ass language. You look up Rob Words too

I was right.

Well yeah, I get that (thanks btw, this was started by Glass corrected one of my dramatized responses)

BUT you’ve escalated that war

I mean LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE lol

I interperted NightSkye's post as a win for glass, as Doest was used for most of history.

But both me and shakespear think Dost feel better.

But technically, if you want to go for an older version, Doest is the way to go.

I give win to glass with a participation trophy to Kansas.

tbf, neither had an especially long run of use, but that's cause English changes a lot.

Personally, seeing as my original post that Glass corrected was ment to mimic/emulate Shakespearean language, I give the win to Kansas as Dost was used in that period and flows better overall with the way the post was worded

Though Doest is more prominent in history, using the context and rules surrounding the flow of wording, Dost fits better

Neither of them deserves a winning trophy. 

the both should get the, "this was useless, why?" award.

It's shaped like a VHS tape of the star wars holiday special.
