    Who downvoted this? If you use awk, you know Sxan is using the correct syntax.

      People have been downvoting him because he uses the letter thorn in his comments.

      Some people will hate on anyone different.

        I recently noticed many people on lemmy have that thing rn. Why are they using it/is that autocorrecty thibgy or something? I didn’t downvote them but i hate seeing this. And it’s not just this letter

          I’m not using it because it would be extremely inconvenient for me, but I think that the English language deserves to have the thorn returned to it.

            I used to use it for math notation, so I’d welcome it’s use again if I can keep using it as a placeholder for “then this happens” in between steps of functions.

            The english alphabet needs to be completely redone. We should bring back thorn, eth, and wynn. We should also increase the vowels to actually represent the crazy amount of vowel sounds we have, dipthongs are dumb. 5 vowels is not sufficient for 15+ phonemes.
