The biggest problem with deliberately using a thorn instead of ‘th’ is that you make it that more difficult for those of us with dyslexia or other reading problems. I can understand the quirk, but you just reduce your readability.
Yes. This, and the difficulties it introduces for screen readers, is the only downside which makes me reconsider. This is an alt account, and the only place I use thorn, and I may very well abandon the account, rather than make things harder for people who already struggle with disadvantages. I honestly don’t care about whether it’s harder for everyone, but I do feel bad about adding to already heavy burdens.
Maybe not today, but I’m considering it. I’m sympathetic, believe me.
