from the early 18th century

I wish whatever jackaſs that decided that the long ſ needed a ſtupid nub at exactly the ſame poſition as the croſsbar of the letter f in Roman typefaces a very unpleaſant afterlife. As if OCRing hiſtorical documents didn’t have enough problems already.
ufed by GOD
Neat, I did not know that. I was just trying to make a funny since it looked like it said “oof-ed by GOD”. Thanks for sharing!
Conservatives are so dramatic, Jesus

Wow that’s wild. I thought for sure that it was fake.
I guess isekais weren’t the first to make those stupid long titles…
Something about the typeface made me read this with a lisp
I imagine romans had a lot of bitching about pronouns back in the day. Mostly because bitching about pronouns is an important part of learning Latin over a thousand years later. Like seriously use whatever pronouns you want, but there’s such a thing as too many and that fucking language has too many
I have a shorter version. LMAO
That a halluva moufull.
Wow, he foundf ferioif
At least this idiot had the excuse of historical linguistics being so underdeveloped; it’s understandable he’d think language was immutable… but he’s still a total idiot who apparently thought God spoke English in the Bible instead of Latin and Hebrew.
These are people who insist that the KJV, perhaps history’s absolute worst translation of scripture ever, as the single solitary legitimate version of the Bible.
God spoke Aramaic to Paul and wrote in Hebrew to Moses. I don’t think he thought of God speaking English in the Bible, rather than English was invented by God and man “ought not corrupt God’s language.”
fenflefs. Why use the weird s (f) when they have the normal s

Oooooh.
English has never not been jank af
they also say fpeaking and spirits, so maybe they were pronounced different

But it’s still fun to read it as if he had a fat lip.
The f-like letter is the form they used inside of a word, and it’s actually called long s: ſ. Short s was used at the end of a word and after a long s.

HE’LL YEAH BORTHER!!!
needs the ſ in alt text to be correct
I wonder if there were 18th century shitposters who turned this into copypasta but subbed in “s” and “ſ” in place of “you” and “thou”
Ye olde shitte transcribers
Pure, plain, and single language of T R U T H
Thou art a grammar Prussian, good sir.
