I down with æ, but me and all my homies hate ø because it's so negative looking, like, why can't we enter there, ø, who made you the alphabetic gatekeeper?

I nominate ů instead. Look at that angelic little halo. But I'd accept ű as a metal af alternative \m/ little ű

I still occasionally use æ for encyclopædia, æon and æther if I'm feeling fancy.

æ is already in the English alphabet though.

How do you pronounce it?

I say AAAAIEEEEE!

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

All* the Old English characters are named with the sound they make, almost all of them starting with that sound. Æ is called Ash, and it makes the ah sound.

  • As English goes, there is of course, one exception.

The a in anyone is actually pronounced like æ. Unlike the a in hand.

The ø, however, is nothing like the o in one. It’s more like the eu in French, but doesn’t exist in English sounds. The Daniel word bøh (meaning boo) or øh (meaning uhm), does sound like the ir in bird, but that’s a rare pronounciation of ø that depends on the h.

The Europeans will come for us, unless we get the Brits to do it

Some of those are kind of hard to learn to write. Then we need more characters on keyboard or use special keys. I had a really hard time learning English and typing on it. I really dont need more struggles.
