Quakers were also known for their insistence on not using titles or any language that promoted vanity. Consequently, they refused to say as a second person pronoun and instead used  and  as well as  rather than. While some of these terms have fallen out of disuse, Quaker terminology is still common amongst Friends and regularly seen in historical literature.
