    Hell, I’m almost tempted to start doing it myself.

    Not because I want to see those symbols returned but exclusively for annoying people.

    Alas, I am too lazy.

        If I were committed enough to use those symbols the increased effort from creating a sleeper network of alt accounts wouldn’t be too significant.

          It takes less effort to block an account than it does to create one. Feel free to waste your time.

            Oh, I don’t. Because of my aformentioned laziness.

        More like a cat looking into your eyes before pushing a vase down.

        I’m reading these wrong and it makes you sound like you have a speech impediment. So who’s laughing now

        I have no strong feelings about their use, but “fun” seems like a stretch.

        I added a thing to my auto-correct that automatically turns “ye” into þe (back when I learned about this, several years back). I always forget about it until I either get to typing too fast and make a space before finishing “yes” or making Kanye jokes (rare these days tbh) or quoting from the King James Bible (much more common than you’d think).

        I think þ is just neat and I do wish it would return to þe English alphabet.
