Now, I don't want to be the asshole that shits on a nearly 40 year old classic movie... but why would the Goonies' map, written in Spanish, rhyme when translated to English? And why would it translate into "Olde English" with a bunch of "ye" this and "ye" that?

Also "ye" in olde English is just pronounced the. It's wasn't a y it was used for the letter thorn which made the th sound. They never said ye. So there's no way the Spanish would translate to fake old english
