It's eth, actually, not thorn.
I had thought that eth was used in Old English for the voiced "th" and thorn for the unvoiced "th", but Wikipedia says they were used interchangeably for both sounds.
You're right otherwise. Thorn was not available on printing presses because they were being made in countries that didn't use the letter, which is why the letter Y was used instead until "th" became more common.
humans just put certain expectations into the word.
... which is entirely the way words work to convey ideas. If a word is being used to mean something other than the audience understands it to mean, communication has failed.
By the common definition, it's not "intelligence". If some specialized definition is being used, then that needs to be established and generally agreed upon.

That article you linked was a really interesting read. Thanks!
I have it on pretty good authority that everyone
That's where your comment went wrong. Just about everything that anyone claims "everyone" does is false. Maybe "lots of people," "most people," or even "by far, most people" do a thing, but literally "everyone"? BS.

Only a 2% yearly increase?!? Are you serious? I lived in an apartment for 8 years, and my ending rent was 70% higher than my starting rent. By your number, it should have ended up only about 15% higher.
Well, if Musk said it, it must be true. /s
You're thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don't repeat.
"Thong" can mean a type of sandal, also known as flip-flops, but it's also the name of a type of underwear or swimsuit bottom that's basically a string in the back.
I grew up calling flip flops "thongs", but as I got older, people were almost exclusively using that term for the underwear, so I switched terms to avoid confusion.

500 pages seems a bit much. In only 8 lines, it can be "proven" that 1 = 2.

/s, of course.
He has a pocket in his cape. It's where he keeps his Clark clothes, shoes, and glasses when he's Superman - super-compressed first, of course.
