I thought that þ was soft and ð was hard. So why are people using the þ for ð when typing?

    I mean fair enough, but the least they could do is use the right letter for the right sound. It’s driving me insane. I’m fine if people wanna switch up their typing or whatever, but PLEASE use ð for hard th sound and þ for soft.

      Hmmm… where I’m from ð is for vocalized th (there) and þ is for unvocalized (three). On the next island over (I’m pretty sure) they use ð in the same way but don’t use þ at all. I’m not sure where you have that hard soft split.
