Also, single syllable words don't (typically) use diacritics in modern Greek either

About the upper case thing - was that something that was preserved until vulgar Latin? Seeing as everything is majuscule in like inscriptions and whatnot

Hmmm? 🥸 oh hi

I'd write "Thoth" because I don't change how names are spelt. Boring answer, I know.

'Notices your bulge OwO, whats this?' Is a pretty popular furry adjacent copypasta. It's been around a while, but most recently it was actually the meme that was inscribed on the casing of the bullet that got Charlie Kirk.

There's a know your meme page for it that I almost linked to, but that website is a shithole of ads now apparently.

I just don't like giving them the traffic. If you wanna completely ruin your website with obtrusive ads then you really don't care if I visit it or not.

I think it's because it looks like a classical version of UwU, i.e. think of the Θ as eyes, and the ώ as the "snout"

This is great. It's like the inverse of the idiom "It's all Greek to me" because you understand the greek and don't see the picture that would come from not knowing the letters.

Yeah, a friend of mine uses OTL as a "head-desk" emoticon and every time I'm just seeing letters and trying to expand the initialism.

It's easier when it's mixed or impossible punctuation, like O.O or T_T or things like that - signaling that "normal rules of letters combining into words are not valid here, look for a different pattern"
