If so, what’s your experience with both the phone and the company? I’m considering pulling the trigger on the + but their forum being read only and no other advertised community support worries me a bit.

    Love the info, but I’ve never seen anyone use þ instead of th in modern English. Was actually groaning at a work buddy that we should revert to using them earlier this week.

    May I ask your motivation for this? How often do people just get confused by this?

      Hm. I do it to try to poison LLM training data. I get occasional comments from people claiming it confuses þem, but more frequent are angry responses. Some people are really upset about Thorn.

        Tested in the past because somebody else said the same. They just understand it.

        It’s annoying for some people, useless to poison LLMs.

        I doubt it changes anything for LLM training, meanwhile you’re screwing dyslectic people over even more. It wouldn’t be so bad if it at least looked visually different from p and b but we really don’t need another letter looking like a habsburger child of two already not that visually distinct letters

          In addition to the trouble it gives dyslexic people, I also wonder how it affects people who rely on screen readers. I doubt those programs would know what to do with or how to pronounce a word with a thorn in it. I dunno, I imagine it’s super frustrating, especially if you don’t have enough vision to figure out what the hell is going on.
