As someone with an ø in my real name, I have had to explain it so many times 😮‍💨

Once, back when I was still on fb, some troll reported me for using a "fake" name based on it and I had to send fb a picture of my passport to reactivate my account 🤬

With a language that can't even comprehend all of their own letters and has to call one "double-U", they can't comprehend additional letters...

With English as my only language I can confirm

Our brains go to mush like seeing a biblically accurate angel as we cannot the fathom the sheer infinity of another letter

I don't believe you.

It is a funny U in English, which is the only language that matters.

Yes, i'm American. How could you tell?

Now listen here you little

[-] uriel238 11 points 2 months ago

No, it's a metal U. Diacritics are vowels run through a distortion filter.
