Drop the stupid typing. It's useless.
Someone can't read the þorn
It's idiotic.
Eh, they're just writing with their own flair. Some people do that by using thorns, some people do that by barking orders to other users.
Woof!
Someone doesn't know how to use the þorn
~~You~~ the commenter repeatedly misuses it. Thorn is voiceless, and ~~you~~ they used a thorn for the words "this", "that", and "than". Every modern pronunciation of these is voiced, and thus should contain an eth: ðat, ðis, ðan.
The only one of these ~~you~~ they used correctly is "Deaþ"
You're getting me confused wiþ someone else. Ðe user you're looking for is slightly above my comment.
I'll happily take ðe grammar advice, ðough.
Indeed I am. Apologies.
