I'm implying that it's real likely the general usage of these words is not vernacular, but actual. As in, people can't spell. But it's worse than that - they actually don't really know what the word is, because they mostly learned english growing up on IM and text chat. Of course, there are 'converts' - people who are old enough to know better but have been swept up in such cultural distortions. So, no, now they'll be upset. <shakes hair in the light, adorning breeze> I guess I'll ad to the topic...um, some: I bought two repros for this kind of circumstance, but haven't gotten round to hooking 'em up. Guess I should move that up some.... |

Typos are not mis-spellings. One is an error in physical execution or mentation, or simple negligence. Mis-spellings of the kind I intimated are due to naivete/ignorance (though don't mistake that I'm implying 'stupidity'). <still enjoying da breeze> (and no, it ain't stankae, yo) |
