"Ye Olde" is historically incorrect.

The letter Y is a common misconception for the Old English letter, called [i]thorne[/i](þ) which makes a [u]th[/u] sound. Bad handwriting of scholars and such make "þ"look like a "y". However, "Olde" is correct. There was in fact an E on the end of most words from Old English to early modern English, i.e. Jamestowne.
