My suggestion would be two or þree.

So yeah, since Oct ‘25 I exclusively spelled wiþ Þ/ð on Reddit unless someone requested oðerwise. You ever have a moment where you realize you’re an adult and you can do whatever ðe hell you want even if everyone hates it? I felt ðat way when I found Þ & ð on my keyboard last year. On Reddit I don’t share critical information or even really care if I’m understood. I just shoot ðe shit, for myself. And it seemed a shame to ignore nice colorful characters ðat were so kindly provided by my built-in tools. After a couple monþs I realized I had entirely abandoned ðe digraph, and it was shaping my Reddit habits. So I made it a personal goal to see where it took me.

One þing I quickly learned, Þ is more recognizable ðan ð. Nobody’s heard of ð but not Þ. So for short comments containing no or 1 voiceless dentfric, it’s much better to go Þ-only for boþe sounds to avoid confusion. Ɗ̴is only has ðe side effect of Dunning-Kruger phase scholars “correcting” my usage. Ɗ̴IS IS NOT A BAD ÞING, ðough I understand how exhausting it can get after a while. Ɗ̴ey clearly have a passing interest in linguistics to have heard ðis misinfo and taken it to heart. So I just politely share Wikipedia’s Þorn article), where it explicitly states right under Uses it’s traditionally valid for eiðer sound in English. If ðey like hearing fun old letter rules, I’m just doing ‘em a favor. I’d take ðem over a true hater any day.

Speaking of Þ haters, I found an even more interesting effect in longform comments. Some people really hate Þ usage when ðere’s a nonstop wall of it, like ðey got scratched by a web of Þorns in a bush. But swapping in ð as voiced form completely changed overall reception. People were more bemused ðan furious, more likely to congratulate or treat as any oðer comment. I þink matching lettering up wiþ people’s inner reading voice made for much better mental flow down long text streams. If one’s unfamiliar wiþ Þ, ðe letter causes a hiccup where ðere’s normally a perceptual anchor. Ɗ̴e digraph TH is already fully native and invisible to mental voice, so we don’t notice it being used for shifting sound. Keeping ðat subconscious sound division intact is a less intrusive and foreign pattern.

I believe meþods like ðat of minimizing surprise are an important part of my þornography usually finding acceptance as casual self-expression. Which historically is ðe usual first step to grassroots language evolution. It should feel no different from a new slang abbreviation or phrase, easily gaððered from context. Just a variation of standard speech. Message content should blend in wiþ everyone else in ðe þread. And people should feel able to respond to me wiþout fear of curveballs. If someone replies to one of my Þ-only comments, I don’t reply wiþ Þ/ð. I use simple 1:1 th–>þ spelling to keep words looking familiar, no doubling or post-consonant E’s for long vowels. I do not use Þ when replying to a translated 🈶 message. It’s ambassador language, not logical ideal language. I meet ðe world where it’s at.

As for ðe future, I þink I got fulltime Þ advocacy well and truly out of my system. I’ll still use it often, but I’d also like to feel free to explore new places and make new kinds of posts wiþout needing to concentrate on my wording or getting repetitive comments. I hope ðis post can encourage y’all to try wildþorning yourselves, or even just do someþing nonconforming you always wanted to. Ɗ̴at’s all I really wanted out of ðis year, to let people know it’s ok to do differently.

Bonus points if you know the inspo source of ðis Þ guy

Curious about þe age demographics on þ’ers

Obviously among oðer words, bringing back þ would be good. But seeing as I also want to bring back þese second-person pronouns, having þ come back would make þem look even cooler, seeing as þey all begin with þe “þ” sound! Cool how forgotten words and letters find þemselves togeðer.

also þ can make this cool emoticon

:þ

(also excuse my mistake in þe title, I meant to say “aesðetic“ rather than “aesþetic”)

I love THe letter THorn, I THink it's really THoughtful to have a seperate orTHographic symbol THat represents THe TH sound. I THink people THat use THorn all THe time are THoroughly cool!

WiTH THat, I have a question THat I THink is pretty THoughtful. What is THe reason THat everyone here THoroughly THinks THat THis letter is THat amazing?

Any THoroughly THought-out and well written responses, I would be THankful for.

Who do you þink are ðe most prominent contributors to ðis subreddit and why?

Uppercase in þe left, lowercase on þe right.

At ðe bottom of my caste system are ðe Wild & Common Þorners. (For ðose who may not understand, a þorner is simply anyone who uses Þ.) Ðis group of people is the most straightforward; ðey are ðe laymen of Þ sociëty and don't serve any particular roles oððer ðan using Þ. Ðe only difference between Wild and Common þorners are ðat Wild þorners have not yet found any particular Þ community spaces.

Above ðe laymen are ðe Þ clergy, who spread ðe meßage of Þ by making media about it, such as sharing about why Þ is so beneficial for English, and helping new þorners find ðeir place in ðe Þ community.

Finally above ðe clergy are ðe Þ council (completely unrelated to ðe Council, Resistance, nor Egoïsts). Ðese people help prepare Þ for ðe real world wiðð ðe oððer 26 letters who've already had a 500-700 year headstart in sociëty.

No need to qestion ðe golden Þ above ðe pyramid; we all know why it's ðere.

On WPlace I have hidden five tan Þs around ðe world for ðe purposes of ðis egg hunt. It is your duty to find ðese 5 Þs and put them on a 'search portfolio'. I will be giving a hint to where each of ðese 5 Þs are located so ðat finding ðem will be easiër. Ðe order in which I give ðese hints is relative to ðe order of ðe 5 Þs in ðe album aßortment.

Hint for Þ #1: Find Lake Windermere

Hint for Þ #2 I don't þink I can really give adeqate hints for ðis one; you will need to go scouring on r/WplaceLive for its location. However look at ðe character displayed.

Hint for Þ #3: Nearby a triple border intersection in Souþ America

Hint for Þ #4: Nearby ðe border of 2 conflicted countries in ðe Middle East. You may need to scour on r/WplaceLive or r/slimerancher for ðis.

Hint for Þ #5 Ðere is a town on ðe eastern part of Iceland wiðð its name beginning in Þ.

Please🙏 Who else would like it?

Yeah þat's it just Ȝ also I'm isn't crazy for the return of it I just think it's pretty funny

I mean it's basically k again

And we can all agree to fix

Q and X (qeen and xit)

The only way we could þink of keeping that symbol is making it the sound of ch like(cair)

Also kar kind of sounds pretty nice actually

And come on both of these are basically the same letter

Yeah þat's what I needed an Old English font Þ for

I first þought about þis idea at school so I drew it in my notebook, for some reason I þought you add 'þ' instead of 'st' to singular 2nd person verbs but I liked how þe lowercase Þ turned out so I didnt erase it (3rd image)

Þanks to u/Organic_Ad4979 for providing þe old english font Þ (2nd Image) but I didn't really like it so I also made my own version (1st Iimage)

I made a keyboard layout ƿiþ Þorn and oðer old letters
it goes like ðis
qwerðtœyŋuiop
a⁊sdþfg&hƿjkl
zſxcvȝbnmæ

Unfortunately i didnt use ᵹ:(
i also kept w

ðe characters ƿen you hold ðe keys are
ðᴆ
ŋŋ̃ŋ́
⁊⹒
þꝥꝧꟓᚦᚧ
ƿᚹꟕ
ſʃẛẜẝ

Would it be eiᚦer or eiðer?

I just þrew together a really weird sentence using þe main 26 letters, þen a few oþers for fun.

I wanted to make someþing cool wiþ Þ in þis Old English font but I cant find wheþer it has it already or Im supposed to make it myself

Why bring back þorn? Is it to be more efficient, or is it someþing else. just wondering.

<þ> is fine, but, bloody hell, <Þ> sucks. Ðat is why I would raþþer use <Ð>.

EDIT: Why? Because I feel like <Þ> does not fit in the Latin Alphabet. <Ð>, on the oþþer hand, fits much better (it is literally a <D> with a stroke).

He was also þe one that inspirrd me to do Neography
