FAQ

1. I saw a stray fifth symbol! Can you fix it?
   Look at our list of bugs on GitHub. If it's known, @rjl20 is probably working on it. If it's not known, add a bug or a PR on GitHub. Tooting at @rjl20 might or might not bring it into his vision as quickly as a GitHub addition.
2. Can I post links that contain taboo symbols?
   Go for it. Validation skips links and it's not a faux pas at all.
3. What if I post symbols that look similar to that taboo glyph?
   Don't. Mods will discard toots that do this, and if you don't stop, banning may follow.
4. No problm I'll writ lik this.
   No. Stop. Don't do this.
5. But this is hard?
   Practicing will bring you far.
6. What synonym should I sub in for [x]?
   Try to stop looking for synonyms; if you try to swap out individual words, you'll find it tough going. Pull back and think abstractly about what you want to say and find words for that.
