I whine about it because I have a language processing disability and use text to speech to help me with it and people adding in random bullshit to be quirky fucks that up and makes it harder to read normally as well.
Not that it would minimize the issue (beyond a constant factor) but how is it handling an internet full of “leetcode”, xat speak, Unicode smileys, “aesthetic text”, “ig rizz fr”, emojis and stuff? Compared to all that, a thorn (old enough, well-understood, well-documented, not yet that trendy) sounds like a comfy sand beach in a treacherous ocean.
It very depends. Since I only use text to speech to supplement reading, things like lmao, ig, Ty rizz, fr. Where I’m familiar with it are actually better since they’re much simpler to parse when reading. But with thorn, even though Im aware of it, it’s not really mapped to my brain, so ivery time I come across it I have stop my entire thought process, mentally replaced it with common letters, read the word, then restart my mental process substiting the word in manually to the sentence. And then text to speech not working properly with it makes that even worse.
