[net.nlang] Pronunciations

presley (07/13/82)

How many people, when they see a sign like "Ye Olde Shoppe"
pronounce 'ye' with the y sound instead of the th sound?
It seems that so many people kept pronouncing it wrong that
some of the newer dictionaries are starting to accept the y sound.

It never occured to me to pronounce "Ye" as "The".  I would
be interested in hearing more about that from the author of that
article.
