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

    My brain reads those as 'thee', or however that old English should be written (thee, thou, thy..), so the image is that someone pretty pompous Englishman from 1700s with a powdered wig found fediverse.

    Plus I tested those on duck.ai just for fun and it has absolutely no trouble of reading the thorns, so it only makes reading harder for other humans, specially for us whose native language isn't English.

    I guess that explains why I never understood the hate, I have no trouble reading it, so it never bothered me, but I guess I can see how it would bother those that it does impede.

    You know, I'm not even sure that's fully it. I'd be just as annoyed if someone wr0t3 l1k3 th1s and I can read that fine.

    Part of it is definitely the attention seeking. That's 14-year-old behavior, grow up.
