I come via metafandom! Languages are interesting. Unfortunately, having English as my native language gives me a little bit of a disadvantage with formal and informal "you"'s... which doesn't help at all when my foreign language teachers don't really care how you're addressing people. We use the informal "you" all the time in my German class, even though we were told in the first week to use "Sie" (formal) for adults, but a new, young teacher came along and we all turned to "du" (informal) for everyone. I think most people forget that there's a formal version, and this saddens me. ;_;
I love your ideas of how the different people would address others, especially when I know what context you're talking about! (Believe me, with the rate I keep up with stuff, this is amazing.)
This makes me want to read stories with middle English pronouns. Languages are very, very interesting...
