Im over a year late coming across this, but its more than likely written by someone from britain with a poor grasp of british spelling. through, you’d use as in ‘I went through a tunnel’ and threw as in ‘i threw the ball’

It’s basically olde English I guess, I know you use tire meaning the tire on your car and to say you are tired im going to bed.

here tyre is the rubber thing on your car, and tire means to be physically be tired. The language sounds the same but there are many subtle differences in how its developed.

and THRU is not a word, would you ever actually write that in a sentence? I hope not.

Perhaps there are just a lot of errors. Yesterday, I was distracted when typing and I typed the word “use” when I meant “huge”. Maybe it’s just a common mistake when distracted? It doesn’t make sense, how can you even state a past tense of term?

Another example of the ineptitude or laziness of those who throw words together, as opposed to writing or crafting sentences. I see more examples of this lately and it makes me shake my head in sadness at the seemingly bottomless well of idiocy from which our species gulps so gluttonously.

I have to wonder if, in the near future, all homophones will devolve and dissolve into single words to cover a multitude of meanings depending on context. Then we’ll all just write “thru” to mean “through,” as well as “threw.”
