Anyways, continuing on the the topic of the word Easter:
Now, would I use the word "Easter" today in reference to the Christian understanding of Passover? Probably not. For most people today do not associate the word "Easter" with the "Passover" anymore like they did back in the 1600's. In other words, I use words in communicating with people to get them to better understand me. I speak Late Modern English (Modern English) to them and not Early Modern English (1600's English) to them. For how would it go over with people I talk with today if I used "thee's", and "thou's" always with them?
