     Note: In Old English ye was used only as a nominative, and
           you only as a dative or objective. In the 16th century,
           however, ye and you became confused and were often used
           interchangeably, both as nominatives and objectives,
           and you has now superseded ye except in solemn or
           poetic use. See {You}, and also the first Note under
           {Thou}.
