it's normal for natives to use "tho" in place of "though" but it's a pretty casual way of writing it that, to me at least, seems quite out of place with the rest of the comment
I mean, if it works it works, but I think it would be less effective if a lot of people did it. “Oh, I’ve seen this one, he never actually throws the brick.”
seems easily solved by having at least some people actually throw it when called for
based off the font i'd say "p"; but also mainly because the tail goes below the bottom of the other letters even after accounting for the distortion
