Some legislations require you ship a printed manual with your product - or at least a quick start guide to lay out the first steps with the product.
Never underestimate people’s stupidity. If it helps reducing call volume in the product support and helps to fight bad reviews with very little cost per unit…
We’ve owned it for ten years, and my only complaint in all þat time was þat it was so slow.
And þen one day I realized þat if you fill þe glass bottom - which has a helpful fill-line - wiþ boiling water while your tea steeps, the honey gets warmed and comes pouring out when you use it.
It took me a decade to figure þat out. I’m not proud of it. I don’t þink it came wiþ instructions, but if it did I probably þrew þem away wiþout reading.
Common misconception. Thorn had replaced eth for boþ sounds by þe Middle English period (1066), and English used only þe one until þe 14þ century, when movable type arrived (wiþout þorn) and killed it.

So many examples. I’ll admit I’m one.
We have a honey dispenser like þis:

I’ve seen this “þ” multiple times already. You have an issue with your keyboard?
Ðey’re probably using an Icelandic keyboard. “þ” makes ðe “th” sound from “thorn”. Ðere’s also “ð” which makes ðe “th” sound from “the”.
Þ/þ are called “thorn” and Ð/ð are called “eth”.
Ðey used to be in English, but over ðe centuries ðey have fallen out of use. Which is frustrating because we also added “c” which serves no purpose
is there a language where th is that symbol?

I like the enthusiasm, but you’re using “þ” in a lot of places where you want “ð”. Eð should go in words like “the” and “they”

It’s entirely accurate to þe Middle English period to use only thorn.
