On a can of Braq's rootbeer, is says: "Famous olde tyme rootbeer." It also states the rootbeer was made in 1896 so did they commonly use it back then? And way is "Tyme" spelled with a "y"? This stuff baffles me.

Tyme and Olde are old English spellings. They mean the same thing as time and old.

The spelling of old in OLD English was "olde". Modern English dropped the "e". Tyme is Old English, also.

Language is a constantly evolving organism. It changes to fit society, with the influences of other cultures and with changing technology.

Old people couldn't carry the extra load any longer.
I'm for dropping the "D".

maybe the e was too old to hang on, so it just died and fell.
