"You have past away Black Elk - seek ye a mortician."(sic)

Quaint anachronisms such as "seek ye" only work well when you demonstrate a sufficient command of standard English to avoid making mistakes such as substituting "past" for "passed."

Otherwise, they only sound awkward and embarrassing.

But I suppose we should make allowances for you. It is, after all, well past your bedtime.
