Empirical evidence that it's a thorn and not a y. :P

Also, yay for custard. :yes: And custard pie. :yes:

EDIT: Brandon and I have different opinions of whether this is empirical evidence or not. ::) I say it is because we are all observing the thorn to be a thorn, to remain a thorn and not to turn into a y at random intervals.

Oh yes. :yes: "Ye" is only ever a personal pronoun. :)

Yet that assumes that people initially see it as a thorn and not a y. The modern rendering of the thorn (Þ, þ) seems to me to be much better at differentiating between the two. The whole practice of using y's for þ's started because the olde script/style þ came to look like a y and printers were too lazy to make an extra letter for the movable type press. :P See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)#Middle_and_Early_Modern_English.

EDIT: Also, you can't really be disgruntled about people using "ye olde..." in type... because you don't know how they're pronouncing it to themselves. :P All you can do is have this quick little tirade and hope people learn from it. XD :P

If they know it's spelled with a thorn, surely they would make the effort to get one from wikipedia unless they were being purposefully ironic? :P

It's common practice now because it became common practice then to represent thorns with y's for lazy typographical reasons, cf. when-has-English-orthography-ever-been-"regular". :P

Exactly - so why didn't it ever occur to me that Ye Olde (noun) doesn't make sense unless you are addressing said noun?
