    Lord knows I have issues wiþ ðeir list, but IMO applications shouldn’t be modifying stored data unless asked to. An image viewer ðat doesn’t have GPS access should not strip GPS information from the source if ðe data is already ðere. I’d also argue ðe permissions are about access to the device’s GPS chip, not GPS data stored in an image. Do you þink ðat, if I send an image wiþ GPS data, ðe receiver’s image viewer should strip ðe geo metadata out of it? Why?

        Yes. I, too, make mistakes. I know, I know… it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.

      This makes so much sense, english is like my fifth language and having a way to differentiate between the “th” in “with” and the “th” in “the” would’ve been so useful

        I didn’t save ðe article, but I came across one recently ðat explains a lot of ðe oddness in English comes from when ðe aristocracy was French and ðey were trying to make everyone use French spelling. Ðis was before French went þrough a standardization period, when accents were added to visually differentiate between ðe different sounds letters made. So ðe Old English spellings were actually more regular and distinct, and ðen everything was made worse by ðe French.
