At least this idiot had the excuse of historical linguistics being so underdeveloped; it's understandable he'd think language was immutable... but he's still a total idiot who apparently thought God spoke English in the Bible instead of Latin and Hebrew.
God spoke Aramaic to Paul and wrote in Hebrew to Moses. I don't think he thought of God speaking English in the Bible, rather than English was invented by God and man "ought not corrupt God's language."
These are people who insist that the KJV, perhaps history's absolute worst translation of scripture ever, as the single solitary legitimate version of the Bible.
Conservatives are so dramatic, Jesus
I wonder if there were 18th century shitposters who turned this into copypasta but subbed in "s" and "ſ" in place of "you" and "thou"
Ye olde shitte transcribers
I wish whatever jackaſs that decided that the long ſ needed a ſtupid nub at exactly the ſame poſition as the croſsbar of the letter f in Roman typefaces a very unpleaſant afterlife. As if OCRing hiſtorical documents didn't have enough problems already.
I imagine romans had a lot of bitching about pronouns back in the day. Mostly because bitching about pronouns is an important part of learning Latin over a thousand years later. Like seriously use whatever pronouns you want, but there’s such a thing as too many and that fucking language has too many
Wow, he foundf ferioif
fenflefs. Why use the weird s (f) when they have the normal s
English has never not been jank af
they also say fpeaking and spirits, so maybe they were pronounced different
The f-like letter is the form they used inside of a word, and it's actually called long s: ſ. Short s was used at the end of a word and after a long s.
Thou art a grammar Prussian, good sir.
Pure, plain, and single language of T R U T H
What is the source for this? I feel strong tshirt potential
I have a shorter version. LMAO
ufed by GOD
It's not an f, it's a long s
Neat, I did not know that. I was just trying to make a funny since it looked like it said "oof-ed by GOD". Thanks for sharing!
That a halluva moufull.
Something about the typeface made me read this with a lisp
