Well ðis þread just made me deeply self conscious about þinking v making my home screen a picture of me wið my GF ðat I'm particularly fond of.
I'm probably going to regret asking, but why the odd letters? And why, as near as I can tell, are there two different ones for 'th'?
Fun fact, when you see "ye olde tavern", the y is used in place of þ. Which is pronounced "the".
I don't know why this guy insists on using these old letters but hey it's fun seeing colourful people on the internet. I say upvote the fella.
That is interesting!
My problem with using defunct letters is that it requires a lengthy explanation, and even then is still hard to read. It would be easier just being in a different language entirely, at least I could copy and paste into a translator.
