Love it! And always appreciate an opportunity to share this detailed guide:

That is interesting!

My problem with using defunct letters is that it requires a lengthy explanation, and even then is still hard to read. It would be easier just being in a different language entirely, at least I could copy and paste into a translator.

Which still doesn't really answer why use them. Why make it intentionally harder to understand your comments? What's the upside to it?

Edit: I've looked at your previous comments and saw you explain it to someone else where they've come from and your preference, but I feel like if you have to explain it to everyone it can't possibly be a useful way of communicating.

I'm probably going to regret asking, but why the odd letters? And why, as near as I can tell, are there two different ones for 'th'?

I'm guessing that's in reference to your reply to someone else about messages going out asking for donations after the supreme court decision? That may be in poor taste, I'll grant you, bug doesn't change the fact that it still wasn't the democrats that made the decision in the first place.

If Person A punches Person B, and Person C could have stopped it, I would still blame Person A for throwing the punch.

I mean, I am utterly befuddled at how you could reach that conclusion.

It's a bold take to blame the side that failed to prevent something, rather than the side that actually did the thing.

But not from X. Checkmate haters.

They'll release it in two weeks.

A very good point, I'm just bitter about the cost of a 99!

 

Curious as to what others do once they've opened their advent calendar for the day, take the door off, leave it open, close it, or something else entirely?

Personally, I've always removed them, along with the foil inside the door, looks neater and it's easier to find subsequent days. Others don't seem to agree with me on this one though, so I'll be interested to see what you fine folk think.
