Comment on Iran plans permanent break from global internet, say activists
paris@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 days agoThat character is called a thorn and is pronounced as a “th” sound. It’s from Old English and fell out of use iirc, but some people like to use it

I know, but when reading the comments, that’s all I saw.

Yeah. I agree wiþ you. Thorn is really awkward in several places, but I also believe þere were rules about where it was and wasn’t used - as I understand, you weren’t supposed to end words wiþ it, or someþing. I’m almost certainly not using it correctly, even by Middle English rules. I particularly dislike it in “þis”, but þems þe breaks.
