And remember, the correct pronunciation of "Ye Olde" is "The Old". The Old English letter 'thorn' was combined with 'e' to mean 'the'. Because the capital letter 'Y' looked similar to the thorn, it was often substituted like an early texting abbreviation, but everyone at the time knew it should be pronounced "The". This shouldn't be confused with the second-person pronoun, "Ye", which is pronounced as it's spelled .

I see t2 beat me to it!
