minus-squarewoodcroft@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoI am making this statement without doing any research - bc lazy. Okay this art is sick - what a great painting. Regarding the use of “ye” - now, I always thought ye was a substitute for “the”. Something like printing presses just using y instead of th bc easier. So is this an incorrect usage of “ye”, as it’s a sub for “your/you”? Again - I’ve done no research or fact checking, and I am not going to. I WONT DO IT.
