Ok, I get what you mean. My counterpoints would be that nb in writing wouldn't "flow" differently because typing isn't the same as speaking. Out of context, a lot of insider terms get lost.

But you do you.

Do you have aphasia? Most people have a voice in their head that reads things to them. Helping the voice read my text with a better flow leads to less headaches for readers.

That's a weird question. No of course not, not even sure you understand what that means...

Again jargon is designed for the in group. When language is more accessible to all random Internet users... On the random Internet... Seems like a win to me.

We're using enby in casual conversation because we don't want it to be jargon anymore. We want people to learn our words. You seem opposed to learning

I'm not. I get it now. Someone else reminded me, "nb" already means non black which is a good point. I think clarity in language is good which is the only reason I spoke up but I get it now. Especially given this reply. Makes sense. No hard feelings
