  Þere’s a user around hat always writes like þis, substituting all “th” digraphs with the archaic letter Þ/þ (þhorn) or Ð/ð (eð). Þey were adapted and used interchangeably in Old English in place of “th”, before eventually being replaced by þe digraph again.

  Þe user in question found it entertaining to use þem once more. Some people find it extremely annoying and tedious to read.

  I think their username is like anglosaxaphone or saxadick or somePing like dat. You'd know it because the posts are basically unreadable.

    WTF are you talking about, even if they inserted random letters instead of thorn and eth the comments would still be perfectly readable.
