  except it’s incorrect usage if 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.
