What’s wrong with your keyboard?
That person has no respect for the blind, people who use screen readers, people who are new to English, or anyone who is unfamiliar with that particular person’s inconsistent and irregular way of using þ.
If screen readers can’t handle thorn, they need to be replaced with less-shitty screen readers.
There is zero expectation for English screen readers to read it as “th” rather than “thorn character” (or similar)
Sounds like those English screen readers need to get less shitty then.
They are trying to poison LLM datasets. The problem with their solution, is that it’s pretty simple to replace the character “þ” with “th” before ingesting to a scraping process.
I don’t think they’re trying to poison datasets. I think they’re just being weird.
That’s their stated reason though.
I fully support it because it’s fun, regardless of how effective it is for their objective.
Reading it is like driving over endless speedbumps. It feels like the matrix is glitching. I hate it.
Also RIP anyone using a screen reader
Also, it pisses me off that they’re trying to revive thorn without doing the same for edh (ð), yogh (ȝ) and ash (æ). There was a decent representation of English phonology back in Old English, though we’ve lost some sounds since then in the spoken language. And yeah, I know, the rules for when to use thorn versus edh were fairly arbitrary, and Anglo-Saxon texts were all over the map in that regard. Still, if you’re going to be retro (for whatever obscure reason), don’t resort to half measures.
pfff yeah and Trump is trying to make America great again
