Personally I find it a bit weird how much hate this person gets. We can all read it as a ‘th’, and it’s harmless for them to use that character. It’s genuinely just not a problem at all, and if anything is a quirky little thing that you occasionally see in comments. Who cares?
Yeah, honestly I think it’s a little dumb, but they seemed to be having fun with it. It’s not even like it’s that hard to read, they put way more effort into it than it takes to read it
We need to be way more ok with people getting a little weird with it
It’s literally a “th” in the old school use of their own language. It doesn’t bother me any more than having to run an article through a translation service, and probably less if I’m time/environment constrained, which has nothing to do with any user posting it.
I think it’s getting about the level of attention as the person who started doing it hoped it would, which is about as much as possible. That attention is definitely going to run the gamut but it’s the internet so plenty of it’s going to be hate. Every time I see it I’m split between knee-jerk “that’s stupid” and then a begrudging sense of affection for someone’s commitment to pointless contrarianism and quirkiness. With the right mental framing it’s at different times annoying and endearing.
Yeah, I’ve got used to it. It’s not a hard substitution to make, and even if it does take you a little longer to read the comments I guess I don’t see the problem. I’m not in a rush to read online comments, and if I was in a rush I wouldn’t be reading online comments 🤷♂️
I’ve never used it. Jesus man stop whining, you already don’t read the comments like you’ve said. I swear sometimes it seems like people online just desperately need something to moan about.
If you really don’t give non-native speakers of English enough credit to use context and their current understanding of the language to learn one more letter, I think that’s pretty exclusionary. People who don’t speak English as a first language aren’t stupid, mate.

Some people choose a hill to die on. Theirs is apparently sideways
Edit: sorry I meant Þeirs

Yeah, this is one of the weirdest things I’ve seen to cause such a significant level of annoyance among so many people
I’m honestly confused how there’s so much actual anger in these comments

I just don’t read their shit.
Can you read it like th? To the same fluency? If not, to what degree?
I certainly can’t read it fluently.

Can you understand it? Sure. But it inhibits comprehension and distracts from the flow of conversation.
You’re right that’s exactly the same as replacing one grouping of two letters mate
And for non native English speakers? Or people who have never used it?
I do have a simple solution though, I just don’t bother reading the comments when I see that being used. Problem solved.

I don’t think asking about the inclusion of non native speakers is whining, but sure thing buddy 👍

Exhibit A.
What’s the exhibit? Telling someone else to stop whining? 😂
