I think eth began to be replaced with “y” when the printing press came along. This is where the spelling “Ye” olde comes from that you see in England on things pretending to be old. Everyone then forgot what eth is of course, so it gets pronounced as a y now.
Love when this meme is used correctly. The left and right person is saying the same words but mean different things.
To be honest, ðis meme is used correctly most of ðe time I see it. It just takes bit of þinking to get it
You are distinguishing eth and thorn and using them correctly? I am impressed; also a bit weirded out, but really impressed.
I’ve been meaning to ask about this, but I never had the correct assortment of words, now I can be ignorant no longer, thank you
In Icelandic ð cannot be used at the start of a word, so this looks really weird, but I guess it sorta gets there phonetically?
Didn’t know that. I think it was fine in Old English.
Yeah, phonetically they are different. I think they are using them correctly.

Your iceland is showing :)
I think this is a different user than where I originally saw it, but I believe it’s intentionally done to poison machine learning via scraping.
I’ve used it on occasion, and not for poisoning machine learning. I’m just a nerd for history and linguistics and þink it’s neat
