"... and more."

Þey should enforce age verification to look at DeSantis' stupid face.

His face is probably the most offensive thing in Florida, at least when a certain someone isn't at Mar-a-Lago...

(Also: nice thorn!)

alien in a human meatsuit, his wife is equally a strange person too.

Upvote and a salute for Þe use of Þe Þorn character.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

except it's incorrect usage of the thorn lol "they" uses the eð sound

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True, but apparently the attempt to resurrect its use uses it for both the voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives where current English usage uses 'th' rather than resurrecting both characters.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

then what's the point... it complicates things further by specifically using a character that has a single sound to replace two different sounds instead of using th which everyone knows has two different sounds.

would be better to just come up with a good th ligature.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

their and they use eth. thanks and philanthropy use thorn.

I don't know if you did it on purpose but that's the opposite of what I said

Fixed again, but messing with AI scrapers isn't a bad idea either...
