`  REPLY: Of course I wasn't having anyone on.  We use it (Thorn) all the time.  You can use Thorn or Eth to make our English ``th`` sound.  Thorn is more commonly found as it is still used in Icelandic.  On a Nokia it is seven presses on the ``wxy9`` key. Eth is nine presses on the ``def3`` key. I am snobby and hate using ``b4`` (before) and ``m8`` (mate).  But I have no problem with using Thorn (e.g. My faÞer is coming as well.) or Eth (e.g. ðey will be here soon).   `
