On the accent: certain types of neurodivergent mimic people really well and will, like, subconciously pick up accents to fit in better, so depending on what kind of brain stuff he's got, he might actually be adjusting based on who he's around and it's all subconcious

The difference between Carlson and Hans is like Michael Jordan in his prime getting handed his ass by a college guard from a mid level school in a seven game series. They also check the moves against top computer calculations and Hans played nearly perfectly against arguably the greatest chess player ever. I will say I have wanted to really beat some people at chess. But never bad enough to put anything up my ass. Yet…

The letter that gets mentioned, 'þ', is called 'thorn' and is pronounced as the 'th' sound. It's a feature of old Germanic and Nordic alphabets, and actually used to be used in Old English until the French-speaking scholars that came along with the Norman invasion took one look at it and said 'wtf is this shit'.
