It's too similar to p and b. And just look at this: thorn, thee, too vs: þorn, þee, Þoo
Plus, spelling "th" as two separate letters just has that aura that the half-mast p can only dream of.

I feel like this thread is aimed at one user lol.
Anyway, every time I see that thing, I just see a "b" and I read the thing as a "b" because it makes everything they write hilarious, "bere I was in be born bush"

Maybe, but it just got stuck with me and had to get it off my chest.
... do we have a c/offmychest?

Thanks! I was wondering whether PieFed has one, tho...

Lemmy communities are usually fine, only the most active topics can stay active on two communities at once

Good point.

Probably. If we don't, I guess its time for you to make one. :P

Unfortunately, my body is a machine that turns spur-of-the-moment ideas into abandoned projects

Same here. Thats why I immediately rolled the ball over to you.

Perhaps you should spearhead an initiative on turning existing letters into digraphs.
For example, 'x' should probably be 'ks'. 'w' very much yearns to be 'vv', and 'm' looks like 'nn'. 'Y' is obviously just 'ie'. 'q' is a failed letter – make it 'kh' like in all the bad science fiction. In fact, all the harsh consonants like 'k', 't' and 'p' should be digraphs: 'gh', 'dh' and 'bh'.

i think english should clean up its vowel pronunciation first... ghoti-isms isn't a thing in most languages

Funnily enough, x is often enough referred to as "iks" in my language (Croatian), and w is "duplo V" (double V) (but WWW is read as VVV).
Q, however, absolutely SLAPS as a letter.

There's something magical about Lemmy.
