    3. Dear Job Affiliates: I noticed that, in the Plain Text world of Rootsweb chat groups, the thorn character printed as ?ed. It actually looks rather like a lower case b with the bump moved up to half staff. If you want to take a look at it you may consult this web site. http://www.takeourword.com/TOW142/page1.html The difficulty of presenting the thorn correctly is precisely why continental European printers, who did not have this peculiarly English thorn in their type-cases, substituted the y for that character.
