This assumes both variables 'h' and 'e' are not equal to 0.

I read he and they has "variables" in the programming sense. Not the "h" "e" sense

Is ty supposed to be thank you? Like (thank you)^-1 or thank you... NOT!?

Yeah, inverse thank you.

That would mean that when normal people have close to zero gratitude, your gratitude would tend to infinity.

This is the kind of guy who always thanks the bus driver.

But what if a normal person is slightly ungrateful about something?

Wouldn't inverse thank you be "welcome?"

Pronouns welcome!

Now you've got me thinking about it. Time to nerd out, I guess, haha.

From an algebraic perspective, it would be whatever "undoes" a thank you.

From a logic perspective, it would be something that is the complement of a thank you, and contradicts a thank you given ty ∧ ¬ty or is a tautology when ty ∨ ¬ty.

"Welcome" doesn't seem to quite fit for either of those cases. "Not thank you" or "ungrateful" do indeed seem closer.

You can call everyone "one" in the meaning of a singular person, and everyone would appreciate being referred with "ty"

"Ty" means "you" (singular) in Czech, but it's a bit rude to address people like that.
