Are there any serious reasons to keep writing the smooth breathing in word-initial positions?

Hi, I've been thinking for a while that we should abolish the smooth breathing mark in word-initial positions. My reasoning is that in many contexts (small fonts on phone screens, when the web page is zoomed out, small print, etc.) I find it to be an unnecessary obstacle to readability (because it is so, so similar in appearance to the rough breathing mark), and I don't even have any serious vision impairment or visual processing disability. If it's hard for me without a disability, how much worse would it be for someone who has any kind of vision impairment and needs to read large fonts for ordinary Roman letters? Or for people with varying degrees of dyslexia?

A writing system should make it easier for the eyes to process the information, not harder than it needs to be. That's why we add spaces between words... we innovated on ancient punctuation systems to make text more easily readable.

However, I don't want to come across as overbearing about it or to talk on and on about something if there's a subtlety I'm missing.

So I want to listen to your opinions. Is there a serious, genuine reason we need to keep writing the smooth breathing in word-initial positions? I'm totally happy to keep the smooth breathing when it indicates crasis (ฮบแผ€ฮบฮตแฟ–ฮฝฮฟฯ‚).

There's just something about how tiny it is and how few pixels of difference there are between it and the rough breathing that makes it just so... obstructive to legibility. If the one job it's supposed to do is 'indicate there is no rough breathing', that job is far better done by not writing anything at all on word-initial vowels, and it would reduce the time it takes to write or type.

imh ๐Ÿฆ, smooth ๐Ÿง ; ๐Ÿ‘„-breathing; knuckle-dragging; opinion: I think there's so much more here than just r/GME, the MOASS, et al, rGME = wholesome community that actually care about each other. That are good ๐Ÿฆ at โ™ฅ๏ธ and to the ๐Ÿฆด & would rather fall on the ๐Ÿ—ก than fuck over their own fellow ๐Ÿฆ.

Brace for impact: incoming: "there is no we" yeah yeah yeah...

Besides that, moving on, I think it's worth throwing out there this multi point opinion piece.

That being said,

b) it's a shame Dr. Michael J. Burry got investigated, I'm guessing not in a good way, from the housing market crash.

c) the internet is a free, living-breathing thing, ever evolving in-real-time via real-time peer review by all walks of life, a wealth of knowledge shared for free from brilliant apes ๐Ÿฆ of the smoothest brains.

d) Respektful & friendly reminder for all ๐Ÿฆ to read the rules of this sub & if it's been awhile since ๐Ÿฆ read the rules of r/GME, do your exceptionally smooth ๐Ÿง  a favor and refresh your yourself.

e) Lurkers! Yes you! You are noticed, acknowledged, welcome, and appreciated.

f) OP opinion: I like stock. I think the future of GameStop looks extremely promising. There isโ€”in my smooth brained opinionโ€”deep fucking value in this company. Pun intended? Yes. this is not financial advice. I do not provide financial advice. I have no professional experience as an investor nor advisor. I have only traded stocks for nearly 18 years to lose. Because I'm retraded. The game has been rigged against me as a retail Investor due to "payment for order flow". Make your own decisions. Use your resources and think critically.

Thank you also to all the Hedgefunds to make this all possible. Without you dirty sluts, this wouldn't be possible. Domo Arigato.

Wii Fitโ€™s Deep Breathing is the most smooth brained thing in this game

Everyone loves to complain about Arsene or any other come back mechanic but nobody mentions Wii Fitโ€™s broken ass deep breathing. It heals them and makes them faster, stronger, and FUCKING HEAVIER. WHY? Truthfully i can understand faster and stronger, but heavier? Fuck off that shit is like shulkโ€™s shield but at least shulkโ€™s slows him down!!!! Wii fit gets FASTER!!! Perfect for such a campy little bitch character.

AND THEY CAN USE IT ON COMMAND TOO WHAT THE FUCK. Yeah whatever it has a cool down but that shit doesnt fucking matter. They still manage to be in that state for half the match anyway

Dear smooth brained apes! If some wrinkled brain apes tries to day-trade or even swing-trade GME, it resets the FTD, prolongs the inevitable squeeze, give breathing air to M & C who are still trapped in flooded underground caves with limited air pockets!

So pls pls pls donโ€™t do it! Donโ€™t day trade or swing trade GME!

Smooth breathings to be marked

hello there,

im currently using The Elements...by Jeremy Duff. In the sections of breathings , why is it that smooth breathings are to be marked even though they are not pronounced? He gives an immediate example.

TIL that despite names like Hermes, Hades, Hera, and Herakles, Ancient Greek doesn't have a letter for 'h.' Rather, a word starting with a vowel has either rough breathing, to produce the 'h' sound, or smooth breathing. The 'h' sound is also aspirated in the letters theta, chi, phi, and rho. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouโ€ฆ

I have one pink Panama that is in ground and 1 seed left. I have no Samsquanch, but have 3BOG, Ripleys, and some Samsquanch cross freebies. I have everything else being launched in US store. What do I do? 7 cosmic queen, 3 pink Panama, 3 Samsquanch, and 15 freebies. Single 3 or 7 pack of CQ? Anyone grown CQ and PP that can comment?
