@GregorGizeh @Sxan Old English (and current Icelandic) letters. English had these until we bought printing presses from the Germans, who lack these sounds.
þ represents unvoiced th, ð voiced ð.
So, more logical spellings than the bodge of “th” for both.
So why not?
@LandedGentry @Makan Did you really mean “get”? If so, I think I didn’t understand. .
@UltraGiGaGigantic @geneva_convenience France did have a commercial scale fast breeder reactor, Superphénix.
I am sorry but I don’t junderstand any of this.

@ChickenLadyLovesLife I was a big fan of BeOS. I reviewed it about quarter of a century ago:

@ChickenLadyLovesLife @dvdnet62 Not as such. I mean it is but its drivers are 25 years out of date now. YellowTab Zeta is out there too which was updated a bit but is still ancient.

@PanArab @yogthos 20M units in China is too small to count as a rounding error.
When one Chinese phone company hired an American CEO he talked in interviews about how experimentally selling 50M units of a test prototype suggested it might have potential.
