Misspellings aside, all of those are perfect. If you ever misspell "ask" that way and someone asks why you have an "E" and the end, just pretend it's an Old English spelling. :angelic:

Thank you for the help, mdchachi and JuliMaruchan.
I didn't notice the misspelling. Sorry. Does it look like Old English? Hahaha. I have seen Shoppe before, but have never seen Aske :p

Does it look like Old English?

To be more specific, no one has a clue what Old English or archaic English look like, or how they work. Some people think they're being quaint by naming their shops "ye olde" something or other, based on a misunderstanding of the obsolete "thorn" character that used to be a part of the spelling of "the". I only know it's wrong because of this awesome list. A misunderstanding of what the archaic word "thou" means is another example.
