Hash (January)

[For Eleanor Loughnan Newton] Thorn, soft as that letter speaketh of our breathy lot, was pulled from English sometime Shakespearewards. Dipthong dipped long ago to no great alarm amongst readers. Eth met its death. Contenders continue to arise for 27th letter of the English alphabet. Is #metoo a word? This innocent question has no ready answer. A sign has turned into a letter out of necessity, a computer-generated cipher improving English between computers. What hash will be left behind should someone introduce a better letter of transmission? Only time telleth in this the January of Online of which I speaketh.
