minus-squarestr82L @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoI’m suggesting that if you take your logic and apply it to all the letters equally, you’ll end up with the changes I listed. If that seems wrong, then the case for consistency isn’t as strong as you first suggested.
minus-squaremodern_drift@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·2 days agoI understood what you were suggesting, it was just weak.

Admittedly, I do not know the history of the character’s development.
