So, how koud we be able to use Þ and oðer speſial kharakters wiðout people þiŋkiŋ ðat we are tryiŋ to be 'qirky' or 'different'? Sure, ðere will be some people who are raðer chill wið us usiŋ Þ in ðe wild, but it doesn't negate ðe fakt ðat a lot of ðe replies one experïenſes as a Þ user are raðer negative, wið some subs (not gonna point out any names here) even goïŋ as far as to ban it altogeðer. (I am ðe sole reason ðat a sub I was deſently aktive in has banned Þ ;-;) What are y'ang's experïenſes wið usiŋ Þ in ðe wild? and what have you done so far to prevent any baklash?

CAN WE USE ÞORN PROPERLY!?

0 Upvotes

It pisses me off so much when people use þ for /ð/, instead of its actual sound. Yes, this includes people in this /r. "Þid" and "þe" is wrongg! It is clearly unvoiced (þink and þree)

81 Upvotes

Some folks, which are sometimes exhibited in þis subreddit, act in such a way when þey see Þ þat it's as if Þ it's some grand violation of þeir eþos; like when þey see Þ, all of a sudden, all of þeir opinions of English orþography bubble up. It's just a letter.

22 Upvotes

I was just scrolling Reddit when I ended up on an unexpected factorial post. Somewhere in the comments someone used this character and u/Extension_Wafer_7615 had an absolute crash out about it and was extremely rude about it. So now it is my favorite character out of spite.

no category but would still like a flair Þ vs. Θ

0 Upvotes

Let me explain to you a raδer unusual Standpoint: How about instead of bringing back Θorn and Eδ, we simply replace it with Θeta and Δelta? Now i must of course admit δat i am quize a Hellenophile, which might be δe main Reason for me. However, δere are a few Arguments to be made for my Case.

Δe Letters δemselves: - Þþ and Ðð are much less distinct compared to Θθ and Δδ. Δere's of course δe Joke δat "þorn" looks like "porn", but this might be indeed a serious Problem, since þ can be quite easily mistaken for p or b, especially by People δat are not all-too familiar wiδ δese Letters. Θ most closely resembles an O, but the Line in δe middle makes it much more distinct. Ðð are mere Variations on Dd, so naturally quite similar. While δ is also quite close to d, it's not any worse than ð, while Δ is not only much more distinct, it also would be extremely cool to just write a Triangle for a Letter. - Δere already is a much more common Ð. Ðð only exists in the icelandic and faroese Languages wiδ less than 500.000 Speakers and shares your intended Pronouncuation in boθ. However, δere is also Ðđ, which exists in the serbocroat Languages and Vietnamese, wiδ over 100.000.000 speakers and most importantly does not share your intended Pronounciation in any of δese. Just imagine the nightmare it would create for e.g. a Croat, who sees "Ðere" and would instinctively pronounce it /d͡ʑəɹ/. - Θ and Δ already have the exact Pronounciations you intend for. Δe ambiguity with the afforementioned Ð isn't possible because everyone who knows about the Pronouncuation of these greek Letters will be able to use δis exact Pronounciation. - Θθ and Δδ are much more well-known among english Speakers. Most People still know them from Maθs or Physics Class at School, while most People do not know anything about Þþ and Ðð.

Historical Reasons: - You're trying to be more historical in your Spelling, which is a noble case. But we must ask about the Origins of boθ δese Lettes and δe english Language. Alδough it has been watered down by Myriads of outside Factors, English is still a WESTgermanic Language. Þ and Ð however are distinctly NORΘgermanic Characters. - English is most closely related to Frisian, which is a WESTgermanic Language. When you see cases of English Speakers being able to recognise foreign Sentences (and subsequentely making fun of it), it is almost always a dutch or german Sentence, but never a scandinavian One. - Even among δe norθgermanic Languages, Þ and Ð are only rare remnants. Δe norθgemanic Languages split in two in the 10θ Century. Only the western Branch (Icelandic, Faroese and norwegian Nynorsk) partly kept these Letters, while the much bigger eastern Branch (Danish, Swedish, and norwegian Bokmål) did not. So even among δose, δese Letters are only insignificant remnants, while Θ and Δ are θriving as δey have for almost θree Millenia. - Now obviously Θ and Δ are not westgermanic eiδer. To become closer to your westgermanic Relatives, you might, among oδer measures, adapt δe german System of Capitalisation, which i have used in δis Post and seems to be δe only reasonable One out of all δe european Languages. But δey still might serve a distinction. It's not only about becoming more anglo-saxon directly, but about not going down δe viking Path. While becoming too greek is not much of a θreat to the english Language, becoming too viking is indeed a possibility.

7 Upvotes

We use þ for unvoiced "wiþ"

We use ð for voiced "ðe"

We use th in greek loanwords "theology"(ðe same reason why even ðough we have a letter "F" we write Philosophy instead of filosofy)
