I remember being like, 4 years old and trying to write a "thank you" card to my grandmother. I spent what feel like an hour going through the alphabet, trying to find the letter that makes the "th" sound. Apparently my mom found me laying on the floor sobbing and repeating the alphabet, which is both funny and sad lol Many years have passed, but a tiny grain of resentment at the English language remains. The thorn would have prevented that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Sxan@piefed.zip -7 points 1 year ago (3 children) Wait till you read about þe damage þe Norman rulers did to English.
