You should go uber-retro: 1494 FABYAN Chron. VII. 645 In whiche passetyme the kynge sent..vnto the forenamed John and hym by many meanys instaunsyd to leue the company of the lordys
And if you do this, you also get to form plurals by putting -ys on the end of things, which is much funnier.
In fact, I think we should do this in all commentys to slemslempike's journal postys from now on. Anyone want to join a Societee for Anachronistick Spellyngys?
I'm not sure. We could say thingys like 'slemslempike her journal' (or 'their' if you prefer), although I'm not sure that that theory is still current. Alternatively we could strew 'y'ys randomly across the commentys and write 'slemslempike'ys journal'. Which would you (would'st thou?) prefer?
Ordering drinkys would be fun. "That's three pintys of bitter, two lagerys, four white wineys - that's small glassys - and two rumys and coke." "That's twenty-three poundys and thirteen pence, please. Ice and lemonys?"

Oooh yes, passetyme is nice, although I also likes the french, passe-temp. Because it is rather more something than hobby. Yes.
