Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wouldn't the asy workaround b to writ what you wantd to writ but drop th "3"? Even without the e's you can probably infer meaning with a high probability of success.

Replacing 'e' with similar symbols like '3' is also not allowed. That's the point :)

It's not actually said that "3" should swap with it - it's a substitution for that symbol.

It's a proposal to post normally but to omit any symbols that don't fit by just not typing anything.

I'm not sure what this ad hominem comment was supposed to accomplish. Don't we already have people who appreciate subjective and cultural concerns involved?

I'm not entirely convinced that we do, no.
