    Make it authentic. Realize that “ye” is a product of industrialization, caused by the abandonment of þ. Use “Thee”

      Wouldn’t that be if “ye” was being used instead of “the”, as in “ye olde whatever”? I assumed “ye” here was just a way of writing the dwarvish (i.e. scottish) pronunciation of “you”.

    I surely come from dwarf stock bred with the giants of men. I have a 29" inseam - the short legs of a dwarf - and a 6’5" wingspan. Far longer than my height. I usually do the math to metric but I’m busy right now. Maybe someone else will? Or not. Whatever.

      73cm inseam 195cm wingspan

      I always use the imperial unit “hand” = 4 inches = 10cm to convert in my head.
