English Spelling Reform Þread

[Rugi]

Hello good friends at Smogon Dot Com. I am excited to announce ðat from now on, ðe Smogon English spelling reform will be put into place. All "th"s are to be replaced with þorn and eð. Ðe spelling reforms are opt in for one monþ. However, from May onwards, using ðe "th" where it is not appropriate will result in a ban. I have discussed ðis matter wið all ðe moderators and ðey've all agreed please don't take time out of ðeir busy schedules to question ðem about ðis.

Eiðer way, I expect you to all have yourselves accustomed to ðe new system wiðin a monþ. I suggest you start practicing now. RightAlt+D and RightAlt+T on an international keyboard. You all have no excuses.

Þank you for your cooperation and long live ðe republic.

Due to a formal request from ðe British government I've had to cancel ðe spelling reforms and place ðis under consideration. Check back April Next Year for an updated orþography. Until ðen godßpeed lads

th glyph is low priority. fix vowel sounds first. we literally pronounce "english" as "inglish" and people are inventing new ways to say "ough" as we speak
