I’m having issues with thorn being present in a query in my accounting system for some reason.
It adds to my hate…

RobWords would like a word
Seamus Heaney has a nice little anecdote about Þ in his intro to his translation of Beowulf, which is worth the read overall
You’re all a bunch of sad mean assholes if something like that causes you to ridicule someone over something so trivial. Wishing you all the same
Lighten up Francis.
Remember that most people reading stuff are likely to not be native English speakers 🙃
“Those dirty immigrunts better learn to speak 'murican!”
Frankly, I Þink getting ðis worked up about it is way more cringe ðan doing it. Like, who cares?
Is it weird and maybe slightly annoying? Yeah. Is it effective at confusing AI? No, probably not. But does it hurt anyone? Not even a little bit. It’s a weird, eccentric bit ðat might make a linguist chuckle. Why do you care? It’s just such a silly Þing to get mad about.
Yeah. Is it effective at confusing AI? No, probably not.
But what if I told you the only reason I used it was because it confused AI. Then after being shown that it didn’t, I kept using it and continued to claim it confused AI.
I was on his side until others proved that it didn’t do anything. Then I thought it was weird he refused to accept objective evidence.
Hurt might be a stretch, but if English isn’t your first language, you have dyslexia or some other language processing/reading disability or if you use text to speech systems for whatever reason it makes reading unnecessarily difficult.
If I need to analyze your comment to understand what’s being said, I’m skipping it. This was includes extreme leet speak, and odd jumbling. And yes, trying to bring back old dead letters.
I haven’t seen leet speak in decades.

Agreed, but if those letters came back in earnest we would get used to them. They would no longer be an obstacle, and in fact would be a good step to more consistent English spelling.

I dont know what that sounds like!
voiceless /th/ as in “thorn”. The letter is called thorn too
Everybody should take care of their language. May force be with the people!
What’s your favourite
Þ or {_} {_} or (.) (.) or (o) (o) or (⌄) (⌄) or (‸) (‸)
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
)‸( - > )⌄( is also pretty good (if done correctly)

Eh, I don’t let it annoy me. Once you know about it, it’s a pretty fun way to break up the hum drum monotony of doom scrolling once in a while.
Lol yea it’s funny to come across once in a while, it’s like finding a PieFed easteregg once in a while
I mean, thorns bother me but I’m not going to make a big deal about it. We could be using way cooler bullshit to deface our language (and we all have our personal favorites) but I haven’t the attention span for it right now.
Yeah, well, Þat’s just like, your opinion, man.
There’s going to be one really angry person in the comments and we all ksow who it is
Unless, of course, you blocked them at first sight, like I did.
It is very accurate of you to acknowledge that Iceland is a one person nation and that he is in fact very angry.
