People who think using the ligature "æ" makes them look smart are wankers

Get a dictionary published this century, assface. That shit isn’t even on a standard keyboard. You must have gone to a lot of trouble to type an obsolete character that nobody uses.

Get over yourselves, fuckbuckets.

That is all.

Alt 0198 is Æ and Alt 0230 is æ.

I had to look it up, but I keep a sheet handy and it took 10 seconds per.

I use Alt 0189 often as it is ½ and I have recently memorized Alt 0226 â for another thread in the games forum.

I also like to use Alt 0176 ° for the degree symbol, but I can’t seem to memorize and I look it up often. It take about 5-8 seconds instead of 2 like ½ does.

You don’t reference the context or person you are pitting, so I would have to say without context you appear to be bitching about something minor.

What word was it used in?

Æelfric was a smart guy, so I find it hard to fault him.

It’s just for æsthetics.

Actually, depending on where the person is from, that ligature comes on keyboards. Cite.

Same. I also know Alt+0169 is ©.

Once, long ago, I started memorizing Alt+Etc codes. Then I realized it was a losing battle. There would always be some oddball character somewhere I didn’t know the code for. So I long since put a link to ↷Charmap.exe on my desktop. Seems I use that sucker all the time. Well, not all the time, really, but maybe once or twice a week on average.

So do I, when I’m looking at some really græt porn on my computer.

On macs, æ is option+apostrophe. I don’t have it memorized, but it’s easy enough to figure out by trial and ærror.

As a member of the Edh Liberation Front… oh, never mind.

This is reminiscent of Læffan’s location rant. Wæk.
