Op must be one of those persons who only learned one language in their life, and never branched out other languages that use the thorn.
Sucks to be monolingual ig.
I wonder if they also get aneurisms in One Piece too.
Op is one of those people who find it easier to read when words are spelled correctly and don’t shoehorn in a throwback letter that hasn’t been used in English for centuries.
Notably, there is only one language that still uses the thorn. Icelandic has less than 500,000 speakers worldwide. Also notably, Icelandic is not English and whether or not you’re bilingual doesn’t excuse poor spelling skills.
Because the internet revolves around communication and communication is fostered by standardization such as consistent spelling. If you don’t want to communicate in a way people easily understand, then don’t. Pretending to adhere to the rules and then throwing a curve ball throws a lot of people off for no purpose, including me. That’s why it’s annoying.
Rules you fabricated on your aneuristic mind in the network known for following rules of discourse, language, and the standard way of vernacularizing text⸮ It appears the issue stems from mythologizing your “easily understand” standard of English nobody knows. Pretending folks to adhere to your rules and then throwing your curve ball throws a lot of people off for no purpose, including me. That’s why you are annoying.
“don’t” applies to the plural subject of “words”. “hasn’t” applies to the singular subject of “letter”. “you’re” is using the general “you” in English that replaces the archaic/formal “one”. “doesn’t” applies to the singular concept of being or not being bilingual.
It might help to read the first sentence like:
Op is one of those people who find it easier to read when words are spelled correctly and don’t shoehorn in a [throwback letter that hasn’t been used in English for centuries].
I am pointing out _skj is very particular on what they consider “easier to read when words are spelled correctly.” It boils down to preferences not everyone adheres to. Maybe get a linguistic retrospective recheck, boomer.
The person in the example was not writing those languages!
They were writing modern English, which does not use that character.
I personally don’t give a flying fuck if someone wants to be creative and use a non standard character in their writing, but for you to pretend that this person was writing some other language is so far fetched.
LMFAO, how did you read my mocking diction as a struggle? I am exemplifying folks just want to bitch about language as much as they don’t bitch about theirs.
Logs in eyes and all that.
Both sites needed me to sign up to see posts, so I can’t see any example that you wanted to show. Do you have other examples that don’t require a sign-in?
And you know, given that were talking about common use of the symbol, it’s better to give examples that is not constrained to niche groups that would use the symbol even without widespread acceptance.
Such examples don’t really prove your point that those languages still uses þ in the modern world, just like the few people on Lemmy using it doesn’t prove it is still in use in the modern English language.
This is why I go to the threadiverse, to find general use case vernaculars only common English typists use. Because the threadiverse is the common man’s network. /s

Skill issue
Norwegian, Swedish, Finlandic, Faroese, Welsh, and Gaelic would like a retraction of your insolence.
Bet too that OP can’t ᚱᚢᚾᚪ either.
tripping
None of those languages have thorn in their modern alphabets.
And every example you pointed out is valid English. You should probably learn it if you are going to nitpick other people’s grammer
I am not the one nitpicking LMFAO, i like folks be quirky in their expressions. The internet is a weird network, dunno why grammar nazis apply.

Those conjugations are correct.
“don’t” applies to the plural subject of “words”. “hasn’t” applies to the singular subject of “letter”. “you’re” is using the general “you” in English that replaces the archaic/formal “one”. “doesn’t” applies to the singular concept of being or not being bilingual.
It might help to read the first sentence like:
Verb + adverbs are not conjugations 🤣😂.

My god, how are you struggling with this concept.
The person in the example was not writing those languages!
They were writing modern English, which does not use that character.

Are you claiming all those languages are still using the letter þ in modern times?
Yes, and a Runic reemergence.
Do you have any examples of it being used outside of Icelandic and Lemmy nowadays?
jabber, Facebook, imageboards, etc… Broaden your horizons, don’t funnel your language.
