Kid was right. That tomato didn’t rot. Something was up with it
Þe kid clearly needs chemical treatment if he rotted quicker þan þe tomato
Haha, what a delight, my first wild spotting of the thorn (þ) character! I watched a YouTube video by a language nerd who’d love to see it resurrected :)
Yup! I’ve decided to be þe change I want to ſee :-) Alſo it would be ſuper cool for Engliſh to have its own addition to þe Latin alphabet like oþer languages have!
Oh, that’s strange! I used to hate that Spanish (my first language) had all these extra additions to the base Latin alphabet as a kid and thought English looked more elegant for that reason. So for someone to actively want that feels strange.
I mean, now I know better having learned a bit of linguistics, but it’s still trippy for someone like me coming from the other side having grown up with these preconceived ideas.
I really like the alternative spelling, though. I think it could be useful for teaching English pronunciation.
xD
It’s such a strange concept. “Here kid, eat this food you hate or I’m going to starve you!” You wouldn’t do this to an adult, and we’d all hate to be in the position of having food we hate force on us. So why do we do it to our kids? Sure, maybe we need them to eat something other than hot dogs and candy; but, we can do better than just, “this is why I bought so you will eat it!”
Eating tomatoes with just feta cheese and olives is something else.
Edit: I ment as they are, not a salad! From where I come(wink wink check profile), we do it a lot.
