Kinda, yeah. The difference is that it's not a per-word basis where you have to memorize dozens of cases. Much less cumbersome on learners. There's nothing wrong with just writing 'ðe' either, if the writer prefers.

They're havin their fun. It's only an issue if you genuinely want to know what they've got to say, which it sounds like you don't.

I think the real shitty part is the English itself, not letter changes.

We could do the nice thing and make an easier language the standard? Spanish maybe? Could also do German. /s

I think It was common in middle English to omit the 'e', leaving it to context for the reader to infer the meaning. I see this in alot of shorthand and other alphabets like Shavian.

Why? This is their post and they wanna use middle English. It's not that big a problem for anyone else.

Are you just worried that it'll become a more common trend? I don't think that'll happen. It's just gonna be like scrolling by a ich iel post every now and again.

I could see this being directly out of someone's personal copy, in which case it's most likely highlighted for if they revisit.

Or probably your slave labor in the private prison system.

Correct. there was actually a period of time when trees had no predators or scavengers that could break down their body matter. They actually likely caused mass extinction events during that time.

Sources: Hank Green talking about it (just a fun video, I wouldn't take it as gospel necessarily)

IFL Science article (I cross-referenced this with multiple other articles and it seems to talk about a cempletely different mechanism for mass extinction to occur)
