If you go to any of the “hub” right now it feels that almost half of the non amateur videos are always with a comedy tone or even parody, is really what the average viewer wants now? I do miss the more serious products of the 90s, with a more normal setting.

      ð and þ are lost letters of ð english alphabet which technically were used interchangeably, but in oðer languages represent two distinct sounds.

      Þink vs Ðou if you want to sound it out to get what’s being distinguished, it’s like ð difference between B and P, or D and T, but for ð two sounds you hear whenever you read a th.
