Elon can consider himself proper American now that he thinks Æ can be used as substitute for A, E, or a combination of the two. Same as you sometimes see shitheads use Ø instead of O.
To those of us who use those letters daily, it's just jarring, as it's a completely different letter with a different sound. It would be like writing Karspleesh and expect the spelling to carry the same pronunciation.
I use Å and A interchangeably, and like to put umlauts in rändöm pläces for fün.
Å/A is just as jarring. The Germans might be bothered about umlauts.
Yeah, they are actually triggering me a little bit. It just reads different.

In Danish ae can substitute æ
Same with aa = å and o/oe = ø
True, that's an internationally recognized translation of those letters. Partially to make it easier for the swedes who use gibberish letters instead of the superior Æ Ø Å, I'm sure you can agree.
But the opposite isn't valid in any language. You don't know anyone who drive across Størebæltsbrøen to get to Ødense, I hope?
Gibberish. Just like Swedish.
If you say "Ødense" is written in a gibberish way, wait until you find out what's the pronunciation of that city.
Now I'm confused and confused how to pronounce Karspleesh. In my head, I'm pronouncing it Car splee~~n~~ sh
If you're feeling adventurous, try Kérsplôøsh.
