Always mad that typesetters got lazy, and we dropped Thorn from our alphabet. Everyone is all "ye olde English" snark snark...that's cause they dropped thorn and used y instead....it's still a Th sound...god...why can't you people be nerds?!
They weren't lazy, they were French, IIRC
Yup, England had a Frenchaboo period after 1066 that lasted quite a while
why did you just repeat the same thing twice?
it annoys me so much how people say "yee oldee", it's literally just supposed to be pronounced like normal, but with stress on "the", like "thee"
dat thorn tho
*þat þorne þough...
*ðat þorne ðough...
i don't know why "þorn" always gets so much more love on ðe internet ðan "eð". ðey're boþ cool letters.
Þæt and þēah... unvoiced. Spelled with þorne, not eð.
*olde
*ye olde
* þe olde
