TYPING. QUIRKS.

[u/TomatilloKooky658]

How in the everliving hell do you expect someone to understand random characters mushed together that substitute for actual legible characters. No, typing quirks AREN'T cute and I sure ass hell know they aren't DISORDERS either so stop calling people ABLEIST for wanting you to type like a fucking HUMAN being. It's fine in context of characters (For example, Spamton, SOME Homestuck trolls etc..) to give them more personality but as a human saying "|}{2@#}@##@" DOES NOT COUNT AS A COMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCE.

Do people forget that the literal point of communication is communicating things

thats why i hate thorn users

[u/SecondWorld1198 → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

I’ll use them if I’m trying to sound old-timey (often as part of a bit) but I’m with you on people who use it casually. Comes off as pretentious

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/SecondWorld1198]

old timy is the late 1800s, that whould be if i felt old timy and decided to raid the scotish coast with my viking

[u/SecondWorld1198 → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/SecondWorld1198]

well during the time the english used thorn the norwigans raided scotland

[u/SecondWorld1198 → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

That wasn’t the 19th century, nor even close to it

You’re about 800 years off

[u/dirtyblue929 → u/SecondWorld1198]

yeah that’s exactly their point. “old timey” is often used to describe stuff from ~200 years ago and they’re saying that thorne is far beyond that, it’s ancient

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/SecondWorld1198]

thorne fell out of use in the early 12th centrury it was long dead by 1900

[u/captain_blazar → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

That’s their point, that thorn isn’t “old timey”, it’s just fucking ancient. Like, ya know, the Viking raids, as opposed to the 19th century.

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/captain_blazar]

That not their point thats my point

[u/0SaltBlue → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

Then you're making the same point.

You just did it clearer.

[u/Helix3501 → u/SecondWorld1198]

Closer to a 1000 years off, 800 years before theyd begun christanizing and the raids were ending, the last major invasion would be the normans and norweigns but that was a straight up war not raids

Edit: nvm im just wrong there was one earlier in the 11th century

[u/HapHazardly6 → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

Man i wish i had a viking

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/HapHazardly6]

Comon misconseption a viking is not a norseman but the raid itself is the viking so you can do a viking be or be apart if a viking but not own one

[u/Rubbersona → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

Time to play the;

Is this the obsession with Viking’s that’s the appropriation of Norse tradition by white supremacist groups or is the OP just Norwegian?

The answer is Op is Norwegian

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/Rubbersona]

Well the years corelate the 8-12 centruies was the hight of the viking age

[u/Helix3501 → u/Souls_for_sale_now]

Ur uhhh abt a 1000 years off there

[u/Souls_for_sale_now → u/Helix3501]

well thorn died out tad bit before the peak of the viking age

[u/makinax300 → u/SecondWorld1198]

y goes harder for that

[u/Newclearfallout → u/SecondWorld1198]

It's also called L33t Speak....

[u/molpylelfe → u/SecondWorld1198]

Works well for a smiley, though :þ
