  It did evolve and English got rid of thorn. This is regression.

    English removed too many nice things, all in the name of standardization and printing efficiency.

    One person’s regression is another’s renaissance.

  Why not make our alphabet more efficient?

  Will the real Noah Webster please stand up?

  Language is never complete until it’s extinct.

  Language either evolves or it arbitrarily splits. Guess which this one is.

  I like the þ but not the long s. Þ is actually useful when it clicks. Long s is just an “what if we had another letter for s thst looks like l and does nothing different or more efficient”

    Agreed. Big fan of þ and ð, but a third way to write a letter, that simultaneously looks like 3 other letters? Good move obsoleting that one.

  The only long S I know of the the ß used in the german language. I’m a big fan, and use it frequently in my handwritten notes.

    ‘ß’ is in fact a digraph of the long ‘s’ and ‘ʒ’, i.e. tailed ‘z’.

    I think they’re talking about the s in older documents being written differently, such that if you weren’t familiar, you might confuse it with an f. But only the first s in such cases that there were more than one.
