@jmarkwrite It's taken this long (2 weeks) to resolve the ongoing and lingering issue with the podcast feed and the way Apple accesses it. (Well, it appears to be resolved for now.)

@MarcSettle @ApplePodcasts Well, maybe. Way back in Episode 18, I talked about how the calendar and terms related to time measurements were based on the movement of the sun and moon. The podcast has always been about more than just language.

@MarcSettle The episode was posted and available everywhere else on Friday. I have tried to get @ApplePodcasts to update its feed, but no luck so far.

@SkeggiH Thanks for the note. I just looked at pictures to compare them. I never realized there was a difference (but I'm not British).

@jmarkwrite "Ye" was used through the mid-1500s. It was the nominative form, and "you" was used for direct and indirect objects. By the late 1500s, "ye" had largely disappeared. It lingered in a few texts after that, and in those cases, it was used interchangeably with "you."
