I remember that the brother of my grandmother who fought in ww1 called it simply "the war" ("sa gherra" in his dialect/language).

English is not my language, is the headline grammatically correct?

I thought that Thou was informal, froma wikipedia "For a long time, however, thou remained the most common form for addressing an inferior person"

The Shakespeare Unlimited podcast of the Folger Library is my favourite podcast about Shakespeare, not only for the content, but also for the perfect audio quality (not so common among podcasts).

In the latest episode they talk about the reopening of the library

Coppola also said tha he did not want to direct the second movie of the saga, so he asked three conditions: to have no interference, a lot of money and to name the the movie the Godfather part 2. Strangely the third condition was the one which was most difficult to satisfy.
