Guys, that was an invitation to ask me for a riveting discussion about how þ, Ð/ð, the Greek letter Upsilon, our Y, both phonemes made with "th" in modern English, other archaic letters I can't find on the character map, and the vowel shift of the high middle ages all came together in evolution of the English language to form one of the most perplexing semiotic clusterfucks in history.
IT'S TOO LATE NOW, DON'T EVEN TRY.
