    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.

    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”

    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

        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.
