So "Ufed", is flat-assed wrong! "Ufage" is also wrong, because the hard-s is traditionally signalled at the end of a word (where ambiguities in the pronounciation of an ending ess is common in Teutonic languages). "Syftems" is a puzzlement, so we'll give you a pass (or pafs) on that... But "Filefys"?!? C'mon, you illiterate flut! It's "filesyf"!

This is Old English: This Pardoner hadde heer as yelow as wex, But smothe it heeng as dooth a strike of flex; By ounces henge his lokkes that he hadde, And therwith he his shuldres overspradde; But thynne it lay, by colpons oon and oon.
