Quick lesson in where the term "ye olde" originated

(CBS News) Have you ever wondered where the term "ye olde" and a few others like it come from? Well if so, wonder no more, as the above video is about to help you get your learn on and break down a little bit of the linguistic history behind it.  Watch and learn.

Okay, as someone who hails from Texas, I cannot express enough how much I wish "ya'll" would finally become part of the standard vernacular.  It totally makes sense if you think about it! 

But getting back on topic, the informative video was done by minutephysics, who has been featured here on The Feed quite a few times, and who typically focuses on physics as his name suggests. To check out more work by minutephysics, you can visit his YouTube page by clicking here.
