Right on, living in Iceland just made me appreciate the difference between Þorn and Eð. Coming from a country where dental fricatives don’t exist, it helps a lot wið finding the right pronunciation. Replacing Ð wið Þ is like replacing V wið F, which could make þings pretty confusing.

I agree wið you, but I’m just boðered by ðe lack of Ð in your message. Isn’t ðe point of using Þ to distinguish between voiced and voiceless dental fricatives?
