  Norwegian, Swedish, Finlandic, Faroese, Welsh, and Gaelic would like a retraction of your insolence.

  Bet too that OP can’t into ᚱᚢᚾᚪ either.

    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:

    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].

      Verb + adverbs are not conjugations 🤣😂.

      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.

    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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    Are you claiming all those languages are still using the letter th in modern times?

    • AntiBullyRanger@ani.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes, and a Runic reemergence.

        Do you have any examples of it being used outside of Icelandic and Lemmy nowadays?
