Return the letters þ (thorn) and ð (eth) to the British English alphabet
Due to better access of typography, English may be easier to learn due to improved phonetics if the letters þ and ð were returned to the British English alphabet. They hold cultural and historical value and could easily be re-implemented.
English is already a complex language to learn and understand based on confusing and irregular phonology. These additions could improve ease of access to the language. A language reform is not off the table, impossible, or too late by any means, as Germany already accomplished it in the 1990s. Bring back these letters!
