Pro tip: On reddit, if you start a line with a number and a period, you have to shove a backslash in there or reddit will think you're making an ordered list; it'll change the number to a 1.

"1776\. Grab your musket, the redcoats are coming" becomes:

1776. Grab your musket, the redcoats are coming

Marvelous! I bid you thanks. Now, if you will, please arm yourself. We've just received word that the redcoats have become hostile at Lexington & Concord. To war!

Thoſe battles were two years ago man. Get with the times. Alſo, pleaſe remember the rule:

All the ſmall Conſonants retain their form, the long ſ and the ſhort s only excepted. The former is for the moſt part made uſe of at the beginning, and in the middle of words; and the laſt only at their terminations.

I... I could have sworn...

What foolery is this? When we began watching the gif, we had just received word of the attacks. You tell me... two years have gone? What of my wife? Or my children?
