Ioreth

Corrected entry: When Jack first sails into Port Royal, he passes a gallows with three corpses and an sign that says "Pirates be Ye warned". "Ye" is not an old way of writing "you", but the old form of "the", the y-looking character being derived from the rune for the "th"-sound.

Ioreth

Correction: Assuming this movie takes place sometime later than the sixteen hundreds, the use of the word "ye" was used for the modern "you". For reference, check the King James Version of the Bible, written 400 years ago, obviously uses "ye" for "you". While possible uses of the word further back in history may have been different, the language has changed since the days of runes.
