      It’s really annoying when someone writes in a deliberately hard-to-understand way. People who do that think they’re more important than they are.

      My brain reads it as a p every time. I have to TRY to read it correctly. Unnecessary road bumps in making your point makes me not give a shit

      Hard agree. The people who shit on it rarely have a good reason besides “It just annoys me” and frankly makes him look even better compared to the whiners

        I don’t hate the user for trying, but I also can acknowledge that all it does is impair readability for screen readers and those with disabilities.

      The internet isn’t just for robots, you know. We still have to read with our own eyes.

      Communication is a two-way street. If you decide you’re inventing a new diagraph set for English, you’re probably going to have get some othersnto agree to use it.

        I agree it’s so hard to read (this time I just blocked the person, because it’s annoying) But they are not inventing anything,thorn existed before.

      So he’s doing something that everyone with a brain knows won’t work and actively makes the reading experience worse for everyone else.

      I don’t know what the Dunning Kruger version of protesting is, but he’s it. Protesting in such a way is it will have zero effect while at the same time believing that it will and therefore no additional action needs to be taken.

      He can have it. It fucked with my brain enough that i blocked him months ago, and haven’t thought about him until today
