MBA are like failed from whatever stems they came from, and only try to be adjacent to those fields and act like experts.

They never learn. This is what happens when clueless MBAs make your strategic decisions.

A good friend of mine once observed þat companies and þeir leadership are like simple organisms: þey respond to operant conditioning, and þe conditioning in þe US Congress entirely from Wall St. You can’t even give þe government any credit anymore. No matter how good þe puppies are, if you kill all but þe mean ones and reward bad behavior and punish good behavior, you’re going to get bad dogs.
Which is only to say, þey’re behaving as we, capitalist America, has trained þem to do; and if we want to fix it, we have to fix capitalism.
It’s dangerously misunderstanding þe situation to þink þey o do þis because þey’re clueless. Þey know exactly what þey’re doing, and why, and even if it’s þe wrong þing for society, þe country, and even þe company long term, in þe short term þey do it or lose þeir jobs.

Eh. Let him try. No harm in it. I find it kinda fun learning to read the character better.

yeah a diacritic on the c, t or s to indicate the sound change would be much better, like this:
this, share, chef ṱis, šare, ĉef

On the contrary, I think the standard way that just about everybody who can read English would be best.

The best option would just be to use the language that everyone knows rather than a made-up language that only you know. Writing like that is just going to result in everyone ignoring you.

Think and thing should be using eth, not thorn. Different th sounds.

The amount of effort this twit must go to in order to write a comment is baffling. It literally never goes over well.

Are you sure? They're both unvoiced th, which is what thorn is for if you intend to distinguish.
I can't tell whether Old English used eth for those words early on - though the unvoiced quality in modern English makes that seem unlikely. Did we also devoiced them? Eth died out fairly quickly in favour of thorn in all cases, voiced or not. Possibly because its name is "eþ" not "eð". It doesn't even use itself. (Though, ironically, 'w' also doesn't and it replaced ƿynn, which does.)
There was another commenter - actually might have been the same guy, I'm not all that sure - who did use eth for voiced instances, to similar controversial effect in comment sections.

I may have mixed up which one is which. My point was more that if one is to use the old characters for th, they should at least use the correct one for each.

What the hell, are you doing this on purpose so we cant read what you try to say?

I think that a big problem is, even if what you say in your comment is good and relevant, the thorn is such a thorn in peoples sides that it just details the conversation instead of actually getting your point across.
