- cryptonector 3y agoYes, I didn't use ligatures. I know. I'll go do my penance now.
- hilbert42 3y ago"Yes, I didn't use ligatures" Ha! From my perspective as a native English speaker I say that at least you know what they are. I'd suggest that well in excess of 90% of native English speakers wouldn't have a clue about what they are—such as is the paucity of English in such matters. Hence my original point about the lack of diacritics and such in English.
- cryptonector 3y agoLigatures are hard to use on a U.S. keyboard layout (EDIT: Even on French keyboard layouts, near as I can tell). I don't know how to type them anyways. I use a Unicode character picker if I ever really need them, and it's so rare. No one will fail to understand if I write oeufs, and I'm not in French elementary school where super-pedantic teachers might get angry if I don't get that right.
