That's not quite fair. Sure, it'd be cool to bring back þ, ð, æ & ȝ, and maybe even to have Anglo-Saxon as a kind of priestly or formal tongue. But that's not needful. One can choose to use 'hearty' instead 'cordial' &c. I wouldn't mind a tool which helped me choose words of Anglo-Saxon parentage rather than Latin, when they exist.
