Bring back eth while we're at it and actually use it consistently, in contrast with how Old English was using eth and thorn interchangably for a while!

Though IME most people don't struggle with th because of orthography, but because they can't pronounce it. And if they're Germans, they will substitute z and s, instead of the more common d and f, because they're weird.
