Curious about a style item I saw in a book this week. Would you prefer "Me Too" or "" in reference to the movement?

What an atrocious style requirement!

"Note: The Vietnamese words in the original version of this essay used diacritical marks. To comply with New York Times style, the marks were removed before publication.

Unfortunately, this practice alters the meaning of the words. In the case of Hỏa Lò Prison, for example, “hỏa” means “fire,” and “lò” means “furnace”: the Burning Furnace Prison. Without the marks, “hoa” means “flowers,” and “lo” means “worry,” rendering the term “Hoa Lo” meaningless. I look forward to the day when The Times and other Western publications celebrate the richness and complexity of Vietnamese, and of all other languages, by showcasing them in their original formats."

People today: I met this guy, he was average

Victorians: He was, in the way of most men, possessed of a rudimentary intelligence, his countenance ordinary, his bearing mild, with some weakness about the shoulders, his hair the colour of ash; he spoke of the weather

How many times can you use 'though' in a book before it becomes annoying? Sometimes I fear the answer is 0.
In times like these I am really glad I am not publishing for money. Getting rid of the few thousand 'though's in my texts would be exhausting.
