Why so much hate? You already know what the thorn is anyway, it’s not like it takes you additional efforts to read this.

I think they should go full old english. It isnt that hard:

Hwi swa micel hatung? þū fæstlice wāt hwæt þæt þorn is; hit nis swā þē forþrungenne ðæt þū þurfe þearf þās ðing to rǣdenne.

  Is that actually old English? I’m not familiar with it.

I don’t agree with the extreme here, but it does take more effort to read it, because it’s not a common character. It’s the same way I know cursive, but it still takes more effort to read because it’s not commonly used.
