Oy gevalt this escalated fast. I thought this was about typing in a language called Yiddish, and you're bringing the discussion to Kahan and Goldstein? Can you imagine if this was an article about typing in Pashtun and someone escalated it to talk about the Taliban? At the very least it's not very HN is it? (Ahem, moderators?)
My friend, I appreciate that from Israel you might identify Yiddish with Haredim (religious Jews) because they're the main ones who speak it in your country anymore, but what I am trying to say is that Yiddish != Haredim. Yiddish is a language and a culture that is a millenia old. It exceeds anything you might find in Mea Sharim. Clearly you are secular and anti-religious but stop projecting that onto Ashkenazi culture as a whole.
Here are some secular Yiddish things in Israel you might want to get check out.
Given their weird insistence that European-descended secular Israelis are not Ashkenazi, I strongly doubt that this person is from Israel. Their political and ethnic vocabulary is totally divorced from Israeli discourse.
