Oh the Difference a Vowel Makes

B was reading an inconstancy case (look it up) today and read aloud that Willaim so-and-so was "threshing" in the barn. This did not seem particularly scandalous to K and I. Then B clarified that he was "thrashing" in the barn. And he wasn't alone. (This will all make more sense if you looked up "inconstancy.")

  1. So when you are inconstant you go to the barn to thrash, otherwise you can do it in the house?

  2. That, or what seemed to be most popular in Chester was to be "inconstant" on the hearth at the castle.
