Something interesting on the subject of english...
The word "ye" isn't really used often except maybe in Ireland(?) and Newfoundland(?) - I'm not sure, I've never been to either place.
It's the plural of "you" and can still be heard in some songs such as "Oh come all ye faithful."
In the old days some English towns had a town crier yelling "Hear ye, hear ye" to attract everyone's attention before making an announcement.
Anyway, you also see this on some store fronts like this...

This was not actually intended to be read or pronounced as "ye" but is in fact pronounced "the." Apparently the reason for its use is in early English the "th" sound was written with a letter called a "thorn" which I have no key to display. Written it looked similar to a Y and early printers just used the Y because they didn't have anything else to represent it with. It would also end up looking like the word "Ye" on signs that used a hand written font.
Time passed and now we have modern English. People are still using that silly Y on signs trying to be fancy and probably have no idea it's really pronounced "the" anyway.
