I use Þ all þe time in my online activities & I enjoy telling oþer people about Þ IRL too. Very rarely can people outriȝt not understand me because Þ is easy to figure out by þe context. I þink it looks much neater & cleaner þan "Th". In old English, wheþer you used Þ or ð was up to stylistic choice. Þey weren't really two different letters.
@ckf9xo3j2bzo2 why does Þ boþer you? Larping? Idk what þat even is. Crazy how a single letter can upset some people. Dude ð did never make it's own sound in English þat is only an Icelandic þing. You're clearly missing þe point here. Doing it to look special? I do it because I enjoy it. You should try getting a hobby too. Sheesh. Þ works for all th words. I dislike people like you who shit all over people's fun. You must be real fun at parties. I'm not trying to completely change spelling. Just make þ an acceptable substitute for th, since it's þe original.
I ɑctʉøle lik hɣ Islɑndɪc dʌz ɪt, ‘ð’ macs ðɛ vœsd ‘th’ sɣnd wil ‘þ’ macs ðɛ ʌnvœsd ‘th’ sɣnd. *Normal English* I actually like how Icelandic does it, ‘ð’ makes the voiced ‘th’ sound while ‘þ’ makes the unvoiced ‘th’ sound
I was joking about how 'ð' looks, but I do genuinely think that having a letter look so different from the rest of the latin alphabet would make it difficult to add. I agree it'd be nice to have 'ð', but adding just 'þ' would be very difficult, so adding 'ð' would be a step too far for the average person.

Old Norse Rune? No. We got it from the Old English Rune ᚦ, the Old Norse version of ᚦ wasn't even named "thorn" but "thurs". It did not die from the printing press.
Interesting. It appears you are correct, that's my fault. The two letters likely had a common ancestor though. Do you have any evidence that thorn didn't die in small part due to the printing press?
@@CTyankee Well of course those 2 runes did share a common ancestor. They basically are the same rune but with different names. It's just that the use of þ in the Roman script came from the English variant specifically. Even in Norse, as they learned the Roman alphabet from the English. This led to a funny situation where this letter was called "thurs" in the Runic script but "thorn" in the Roman script in the same language!

I will bring back thorn. Just wait

I love þe amazing letter þ i wish they would bring it back
Ugly? Naw, ð is beautiful. It will be simpler to have one letter per sound. Imagine ⟨ð⟩ for every /ð/ and ⟨þ⟩ for every /θ/!

Ð is still used in Icelandic, Faroese (in which it is called edd), and Elfdalian
Just a little fun fact I wanted to share
