I love different characters, so if þ and ð were to be reintroduced, I would fully embrace it. I don't þink it would happen ðough, because it does read really weird to ðe untrained mind. Kind of like a 'b' and a 'd'.

Awh, it doesn't do Japanese kana. I wanted to make a "Learning Japanese - for those who don't wanna", with 「ウンーリダバア!」 i.e. "unreadable" at the top.

There are all kinds of troll factories, so from Russia too, sure. No problem with that. I just think WaPo and NYTimes are also troll factories. And there are many others. Especially with the word 'troll' being used in increasingly

A judge having "near limitless power," that sure sounds fancy, or scary depending how you look at it. But ok, I'll play: What's it all gonna cost if they decide to wield their limitless power. Financially and/or oth
