Here's an interesting English usage factoid related to "thy" vs "thine" (though unrelated to the subject of the article).
“Thy” and “thine” are both possessive pronouns that mean “your” and “yours” respectively. However, “thy” is only used before words beginning with a consonant sound, while “thine” is used before words beginning with a vowel sound.

So the use of “Thy” in the title should have been “Thyne”?
