I genuinely just do it because I find writing ðis way fun, and þink ð letters should make a comeback (along wið a host of oðer orþographic reforms viewable in my profile).

Not like I'm going out of my way to force oðers to use ðem ðough, so ð sheer vitriol I've caught for it has honestly made me double down over ð belief ðat people so devoted to ð status quo as to become enraged over a goddamned letter should spend ðeir lives mad about it until all ðat wasted anger kills ðem.

...I get what you're saying but..."þem"? You pronounce ðat unvoiced?

NO IT ISN'T! Launches into multiparagraph long rant about ð importation of ð Gutenberg press mid GVS ruined English spelling to a similar extent to Thai and Tibetan spelling

It's ð letter which represents ð soft 'th' sound ð way þ represents ð hard version. Like B and P but if we had just accepted representing boþ wið an fh for some reason.

No but I get yelled at like I've used profane language here for using ð and þ!

I'm sure insulting puerto rico will really help ðeir ambition of winning ð state wið ð largest population of puerto ricans outside ð island itself!

Alex Jones would like to know your location

Ðose vowels did shift ðough, þorn and eð represent sounds ðat only lost ðeir own letters because of importing type from countries ðat didn't have ðose sounds.

Ðey can be written now ðough, so ð actual reason for not using ðem is null. Ð old vowels however, have well and truly gone, and so spelling wið old vowel sounds in mind isn't analogous.

I borrowed some ideas from it in how I use ðem, but ð letters are old english alphabet originals, same for ƿ but ðat would incur ð wraþ of even more annoying prescriptivists

Ðis greek myþ brought to you by Stephen Colbert's Bernie Sanders impression

Spotting a cybertruck in ð wild be like

Ð funniest part wið ðis one is ðat ð creators admitted ðey had no clue 40k was a þing when ðey made ð movie but þought it was a dope þeory anyways
