Good use of OE spelling conventions!

Which "th"? And do you have an edh key? 8*)
For what it's worth, when I write I use thorn for "th"
groups (both types). I also tend to use long esses to
distinguish the medial squiggle.

I have no trouble at all with spelling, though, as all
words are spelled with an initial letter, a
nondescript squiggle and various dots, slashes and
slanty bits to give the overall shape of the intended
word.

Why?

Another good one. Especially for hand writing, as "x"
is one of those letters that requires you to stop and
go back to cross it. A "cs" would eliminate that.

Ah, silent "e" is a goode thinge! ;)
