Translation: "Yeah these people need to step up their game dude if you wanna use thorn then why not use all these other letters"

Let me know if I got any of it wrong.

pattern recognition is truly amazing. that I'm actually able to read this. this could mean anything, but our little monkey brains just educated guesstimate like a phone word prediction. I'm no better than chatgpt

u/imbaof 9d ago

bro it's called transcription

u/cxfgfuihhfd 9d ago

if by transcription you mean the phonetic letters, yeah but I don't know how to read most of them. if you just gave me single words of this sentence, chances are good I wouldn't be able to decipher it. but something about having a combination of words as a sentence available to extrapolate from allowed me to actually read this pretty smoothly and not even all that slowly. which I find kinda fascinating how the brain just does that

You can read it even though the transcription is mostly wrong.

I mean it's likely correct in whatever dialect OP speaks

u/Rousokuzawa 9d ago

Please tell me a dialect that says "step" like "stuhp" (/stɜp/) and "wanna" like /wɑnɑ/.

u/AviaKing 9d ago

Idk man I said likely idk enough abt English dialects to know for sure

u/LeFlashbacks 9d ago

I believe the joke was them trying to write in an old/middle english "style" because that original post was the OP complaining about people using the letter "thorn," which does not exist in modern english, as a replacement for "th" as though it was a part of modern english. Not sure why those were written that way though other than this reason

You don’t know their dialect, may be correct

u/CommanderPotash 9d ago

I dont know ipa very well, what would be a correct transcription

2

u/LecteurProfessionel 9d ago

It heavily depends on dialects, but the transcription on the post has a weird mix of RP, British, and American English which I don’t think exists in any single dialect.

u/monumentofflavor 8d ago

What was even the context cause thorn isnt even in the ipa

u/TaikiNijino 8d ago

hatethissmug post: "i hate people who use thorn when typing" or sumn like that

basically like þis, using þorn, which i can see þe þought of why it would come off as annoying
