First things first,
I'm not supporting Angel; and no I'm am not wed to Angel. My brother is engaged to her; which means I am not wed to her. Also I didn't direct my comment about jealousy to you.((although I can see why you thought I did...I'm a nice person, and I'm sorry)) I didn't want to get into this, so I'm not. Say what you want Jona, it's only going to fall upon deaf ears

Actually the vosotros form is very rarely used in Spanish speaking countries anymore. Its the equal of words like thou and thee in old english. The only coutry to use it on a regular basis is Buenas Aires. In Spain its used sometimes in a very formal speech or when speaking to a very important person.

First off, you mean the country of Argentina since Buenos Aires is its capital. Also, I can assure you the form is used in Spain today from personal experience. The degree it is used likely depends on the area of Spain you are in. In Castilla, it is used quite often. You are correct that Argentina uses the form commonly. This is partly due to the strong trade relations with the mother country before and even after independence. However, you are
wrong when saying the vosotros form would be used in a very formal speech or when talking to a very important person. You wouldn't use the form when talking to a single person. If you used the form while talking to numerous important people, they would likely be offended.

I have to agree, for the most part. Though a few of the immortals I know aren't always a pain in the arse.

Are we talking everyone who's immortal or just god and goddess types?

I know a few immortals I like... one in particular.
