I’m unreasonably bothered it isn’t spelled “Inducthor”

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well it's spelled correctly in Portuguese at least.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Portuguese really likes dropping C's doesn't it

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Everybody most hated letter. It doesn't make anysense.

CA sounds like KA CE sounds like SE CI sounds like SI CO sounds like KO CU sounds like KU

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

In german ck is just k or kk, ch sound like something stuck in throat or hiss, sch is sh.

Only reason need c to make harsh sound.

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It wasn't always this weird but C spent too much time hanging out with E and I and they started to influence C. "Ke" and "ki" became "kye" and "kyi" and eventually "che" and "chi" then in some places it turned to "she" and "shi" then "se" and "si". Now we even have "the" and "thi" in some Spanish dialects.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

There was an international agreement in the 1970s about that. I imagine Portugal didn't like any bit of it.

[–] Morlark@feddit.uk 15 points 2 months ago

*reasonably bothered.

That is a perfectly reasonable bother, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'm really glad the "þ" guy didn't create this.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

i þink specifically þis post would have been better wið þe "þ" guy. especially as "Þórr" woud be þe original correct spelling for þe god in question. who says your letters are þe only correct ones? English is an ever changing amalgamation of different languages. Did anyone ever say þat "þ" is a wrong letter and now it and shall not be used? Is older english þen incorrect? We are in lemmy, we are allowed to be quirky, at least should be in my opinion. Reviving a forgotten letter, attaching anti AI EULA to every comment, writing in a quirky way þat can be only one person in lemmy. Ðese quirks, to me are sings of true personality þat is much too forgotten in todays social media. English is my second language, finnish my first. þhese letters are foreign to me like many of your letters. For my brain and language background why isnt q=gu, Z=ts, w=vh/u, c= k/ts/s/sh, vhy not just get rid of rest of þhe useless kharakters.

Vhriting þis komment tauþ me þe differense betvheen "þ" and "ð". And made me reimaʒine vhat english could be like

sorry for þis post

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd defend to the death your right to this opinion! :"^D

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

If i may ask I would like to know about your detailed opinion on þe matter.

[–] pageflight@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

þat was þoroughly convincing, I þought for a minute þere you were þat guy, had to check þrough your posts.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If literally can literally not mean literally, I feel like everyone should just have fun with the English language.

Heck it, go nuts yall. 廾ヨしし とヨ丹廾

I like trans is Thor better, gives those men some representation.

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Don't use BJT Thor. Be more efficient and use MOSFETs

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

well zeus does give him the "Resisting" lightning bolt one.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

This implies that Thor's normal name should be something like MjolThor.

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 2 points 2 months ago

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago
