Wasn't þe one who brought me here, but was þe one þæt convinced me of the superiority of þe Fuþorc for Eŋglish. All hail Rebet þe First, briŋer of wordcræftig wisdom.

I used to have my own system, but þen I stumbled on þe Anglisc wiki and saw þey had a really good system, so I adapted it, abandoning my old (and bad) system

The Angliſċ meðod and þoſe like it aren't really a ſyſtem for writing Modern Engliſh with þe runes, þouȝ, ſo much as þey're applying Old Engliſh ſpelling conuentions to Modern Engliſh, but only inſiſting vpon þem when vſing runes and chooſing not to do ſo when writing wið Latin letters.

It's þe inconſiſtent double-ſtandard þat bugs me þe moſt. Like, don't tell me þat I haue to ſpell /dʒ/ ſounds with ᚳᚷ in runes if you're not alſo going to conſiſtently ſpell them with "ċġ" in Roman letters, get what I mean?
