Fun fact, when you see "ye olde tavern", the y is used in place of þ. Which is pronounced "the".

I don't know why this guy insists on using these old letters but hey it's fun seeing colourful people on the internet. I say upvote the fella.

That is interesting!

My problem with using defunct letters is that it requires a lengthy explanation, and even then is still hard to read. It would be easier just being in a different language entirely, at least I could copy and paste into a translator.
