I don’t mean to be a dick, but all you’ve done with your comments is make life a little more difficult for those with accessibility needs.

It’s not even just people using screen readers, it makes sighted people have to do extra mental work too. Whenever I come across a thorn character, it distracts me from processing the actual meaning of their comment, and I just give up the effort after a few sentences. (Case in point: I just skipped the 2nd half of their comment and read yours instead 😅)
