The word "ye" is actually pronounced as "the"

The word "ye" is actually pronounced as "the"

“Ye” was the second-person, plural, personal pronoun (nominative), spelled in Old English as "ge". In Middle English and Early Modern English, it was used to address an equal or superior person.




It is also common today in Ireland's Hiberno-English to distinguish from the singular "you".




"Ye" is also sometimes used to represent an Early Modern English form of the word "the". In this transcription the letter which resembles a 'Y' is actually a thorn, the predecessor to the modern digraph "th".




This orthography often leads speakers of Modern English to pronounce "ye" as /ji:/. However, it’s still fun when you misspell it, it makes it sound more interesting.

The last Beatle's show didn't sell out!

The last Beatle's show didn't sell out!

Although they made an unannounced live appearance in January 1969 on the rooftop of the Apple building, The Beatles' final live concert took place on 29 August 1966 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California.




The Park's capacity was 42,500, but only 25,000 tickets were sold, leaving large sections of unsold seats. Fans paid between $4.50 and $6.50 for tickets, and The Beatles' fee was around $90,000. The show's promoter was local company Tempo Productions.




The Beatles took 65% of the gross, the city of San Francisco took 15% of paid admissions and were given 50 free tickets. This arrangement, coupled with low ticket sales and other unexpected expenses resulted in a financial loss for Tempo Productions.

In the Japanese version of Spirited Away, Chihiro forgets everything about her adventure!

In the Japanese version of Spirited Away, Chihiro forgets everything about her adventure!

Spirited Away is a 2001 film by the Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli, written and directed by famed animator Hayao Miyazaki.




The film received many awards, including the second Oscar ever awarded for Best Animated Feature, the first anime film to win an Academy Award, and the only winner of that award to win among five nominees.




Chihiro is the 10-year old protagonist of the movie. Chihiro is in the process of moving to a new town when her family stumbles upon the entrance to the spirit world.




During her adventure she matures from a whiny, self-centered, and pessimistic child to a hard-working, responsible, optimistic young girl who has learned to care for others.




However, in the original Japanese version of Spirited Away, all of Chihiro's character development is lost in the end, as she forgets her adventure in the Spirit World when she returns to Earth.
