Christopher GeorgeLocation: New Market, VA, USAI am a dabbling singer/songwriter. I play guitar, piano, mandolin, and upright bass. Though I enjoy fairly limited influence from the very wide world of genres and talent, I am enjoying the process of reducing this limitation. I also enjoy working in the studio, recording and encouraging the artistic ventures of other artists. |

My brother, Timothy, recently pointed out that the King James word "shew" is still pronounced "show" -- well, I didn't know that when I read this book. Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of shewing in Revelation, so I hope it doesn't annoy anyone too much. Perhaps someday I'll re-record it and make an effort to get all my pronunciation correct.
Now here's what boggles my poor mind, the old English word "ye" we have changed to "you" (which the old English also used). But, it looks like the same kind of ee getting changed to oo, so why don't we read "ye" as "you" now. At worst, it would still make a lot more sense.
Any English scholars out there? Or better yet, anyone know of a decent translation that is a bit more modern but still public domain?
