I don't get why people are getting mad at my yinglet friends over their typing quirk, when it's honestly one of the less obnoxious typing quirks I've seen in my days. Hell, it's not even the worst one I've seen using the cluster [th], I've seen people use thorn (þ) instead to make some weird snobby point and that is so much fucking worse
yinglets going zh: Cute. Endearing. You can hear it kinda. Gives someone species euphoria. Not that hard to read at all
Using þ to call back to the early medieval period for some reason: harder to read. Pronounced the same anyway, what's the point. Uses a letter that has been outdated in English for centuries. Probably gives Icelanders a headache cuz their language still uses that. Has a snobby energy to it.
Using þorn to indicate all "th" sounds: You have learned exactly one (1) cool fact about Old English and at best want to show off þat you know a trivia fact þat most people don't. At worst you're a fucking "retvrn to tradition" piece of shit who likes þat þorn (...heh, "bat porn") is Icelandic for Shitty Reasons.
Using θeta and eð to indicate ðeir respective "th" sounds: Your Intro to Linguistics course just started covering the IPA, and ðis seems like a fun and novel way to show off. It's still annoying (but at least you're not replacing vowels with IPA equivalents), but you're probably on a good paθ and ðe enθusiasm is endearing... plus, it's at least funny-sounding in ðe event you mess up which one is which. Someθing someθing maθ joke about ðeta and angles.
