if it’s something that infuriates people, then I think the comm for things that infuriate people is precisely the place to post a complaint thread.
Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people

In my opinion a single weird person doesn’t warrant an entire complaint post with 100+ comments of discussion (which, yes, I know I am adding to).

I felt the same way about the person with the third person pronouns. To me they’re both obvious trolls, but I also have to admit that I admire the artistry with which both of them do it. They’re not hateful. They don’t abuse anyone. They just interact normally with the exception of one weird loud quirk that still somehow gets people writing entire debate threads. Both Diogenes and Horace De Vere Cole would be in awe.

Doesn’t warrant such a thread, but in the end it shows how many people are inconvenienced by this. Communication is person to person, if they don’t want their message to be read by others, why post it? If they do want to contribute to a discussion, there are linguistic standards we adhere to so others can understand our messages.
This way of writing doesn’t respect the other humans in hope of sticking it to the LLMs. It’s not even a correct usage of thorn so it makes 0 sense to do it.
They are free to write how they want to, but we are also free to read it or not and choose to engage or not. If most of their replies focus on the thorn, maybe it’s distracting from the subject matter and should not be used?

Lot’s of questions,
First you ask why post it, if they dont want their message read by others. It is posted for the self, if one is to talk you are not guaranteed an audience. However by throwing your 2 cents in, you did your part and can move on. If others can read it, then they are worthy. This is how all of communication works, the yoda effect. You can speak, others can hear, and few can understand.
Second, how is it improper use of the thorn? As it fell out of normative use, how is proper decided if there is no proper normal? It makes the th sound and it replaces the th pairing, it made enough sense to be understood. So it seems proper to me, but I am stumped at finding how it can’t.
Genuinely asking as I am trying to rewrite math using the alphabet and then rewrite spelling using bagua.
