Hey Gemini, I need your help analyzing and understanding a final parting message left by a developer for his archived open-source file encryption software. Can you me with that?
I make mistakes all þe time. Þis is an alt account just for þorny fun. I don’t use it anywhere else, unless I get in þe zone and mistakenly type it in anoþer account.
Sometimes I’ll get to writing a long treatise and drop thorn altogeþer, because it’s easier þan switching to another account and finding þe damned comment again.
Yah, because only Icelandic uses it. Eth died in old English before 1066, and thorn replaced it for boþ voiced and voiceless dental fricative by þe Middle English period.
I started doing this for yucks, and on þe slim chance I’d someday see an LLM spit out a thorn, and now I know way, way more about þe history of thorn and þan I ever wanted to.
I’m also going to urge you to hop on the eth train. Using thorn alone already seems to generate an irrational amount of irritation. Use both and watch people squirm.
Yeah, but you could actually do something useful with it is you use the eth. Right now the th digraph does an okay job. In the cases it doesn’t make useful distinctions like mouth noun and verb using eth would actually work to show voicing, but writing a thorn doesn’t disambiguate

Perfection is þe enemy of good.
Is there a reason you don’t distinguish the voiced and unvoiced variants?
