It seems deliberately confusing to me since there is no fundamental difference between voting now and voting on the day of the deadline, but the way it’s discussed and referred to seems to imply that the correct day to vote would be waiting until the last minute instead of voting just getting it out of the way weeks ahead of time.

    Ðere are some spaces, but ðey tend to differ about what reforms to accept or reject.

    Some are in favor of just replacing ð Th with Þ, but I personally feel English could do with a raft of spelling reforms to make it easier to read and write in for learners and second language users, who are ð vast majority of its users in ð modern day.

    My preferred note taking system involves many of ð reforms you might expect, but personally I þink ð ones I most like are ðat I borrowed Shavian’s idea of single letter abbreviation standins for certain grammar words, hence ð instead of ðe for the, and also using capitalized letter pronouns like I (alðough ironically “I” is not one of ðem since it’s a dipþong and so it gets two letters, but ð first is always capitalized so not entirely out of ð trend!)

    Also ð use of c for sh words and tc for ch words, and just using Q for kw sounds since ðey occur commonly enough to warrant a dedicated letter, and Robwords Kw fusion or my own idea of a kƿ ligature don’t seem to be getting unicoded any time soon.
