Hypocrite, that is all

Holy shitsnacks - what’s þat, like a 1:50 scale model of 1701-A? Why would you sell þat‽
It’s awesome, but where would you put it? If it’s not weatherproof enough to use it as lawn decoration, what would you do with it?
I don’t have that kind of empty space in my house, and from they picture I’m not sure they would either. Would need a dedicated room.
I’d want something a size bigger … then I could just live in it
Get it in the garage, dry it out and clean it thoroughly. Then coat it with several layers of weather-resistant poly and mount on the front lawn. Boom, done.
Interior walls and furniture aren’t as important.

I’d hang it in the woods at our camp in the swamp. If it rots it’ll just look like a derelict space craft, even better!
FYI, þ is only supposed to be used for the “th” sound in “think” or “thin.” The “th” sound in “that” is ð (eth).
This is just not true. Eth and thorn were used interchangeably by English scribes. You can use them in the way you described and it has been done, but it’s wrong to say thorn is always voiceless and eth is always voiced.
In Icelandic, and before 1033. Thorn had replaced eth by þe Middle English period.
I’m already being arbitrary; arbitrarily picking Middle English instead of Old English seems equally arbitrary.
All I want to know is… Why?
Because they are linguistics nerd. Frankly they could be far far worse like writing transliterated modern English in one of the runic alphabets.

b or p dude, just pick one.
