Two questions:

1. Where do you =find= this stuff?

and

2. How do you insert a real live Greek Theta into your blog.

IMWTK

I spend some time every week just following links to wherever they go, and you end up in some interesting places.

Theta: use WORD or equivalent, start a new document and insert a "special character" into the document, then copy to the blog.

Anglo-Saxon had 2 "th" sounds, just as English still does, and had the 2 different symbols for each, and one of them was a cursive theta ( which you saw at the website link "samueldean.tumblr.com" ).

And "sannsorthin" is a very handy word.

What does "IMWTK" mean? I do not text, and am unfamiliar with it. If you text, hurrah! I cannot get the hang of pressing minuscule keys, and it takes me forever, so I figure that whatever I wanted to say wasn't that important anyway.

...oh, and Johnny Machino is a pun on the film title "Johnny Stecchino", a Roberto Benigno comedy.
