I wonder who to credit for encouraging the English to use th instead of thorn. It turned out ok.
- gerdesj 9y agoTrue but we now have pretty much the world plus dog thinking that "Ye olde shoppe" sounds very different to "The old shop". Note that I did not put in a real thorn and instead substituted a Y. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)
