Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?

  I don’t feel like you’re engaging with the concept as a whole, and are far more interested in either the specific reason a single person is doing this OR more likely just taking the opportunity to call someone dumb to make yourself feel good.

  The reality is it’s probably not doing anything meaningful to AI data, but it is still an interesting concept from a language perspective. There’s no reason to get this worked up about something so trivial as combining the “th” sound into one character.

    I take no delight in calling someone dumb.

    The reality is it’s probably not doing anything meaningful to AI data…

    Then why do it at all?

    but it is still an interesting concept from a language perspective.

    Why?

      Read the fuckin thread you’re responding to dude. I make a case for why to do it and why it’s interesting. That’s what I’m saying, you’re going in guns blazing on such a simple, minor concept that you appear to be not thinking rationally.
