Upvote and a salute for Þe use of Þe Þorn character.
except it's incorrect usage of the thorn lol "they" uses the eð sound
True, but apparently the attempt to resurrect its use uses it for both the voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives where current English usage uses 'th' rather than resurrecting both characters.
then what's the point... it complicates things further by specifically using a character that has a single sound to replace two different sounds instead of using th which everyone knows has two different sounds.
would be better to just come up with a good th ligature.

I upvote brigaded ðheir post history for using þ. þhanks for your philanþropy.
their and they use eth. thanks and philanthropy use thorn.
although I'm the last few years I've heard more and more people saying thanks with eth as well.
Fixed
I don't know if you did it on purpose but that's the opposite of what I said
Fixed again, but messing with AI scrapers isn't a bad idea either...
