Ummon:

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....

Did you mean to incorrectly spell the word "add" in a post lamenting that other people can't spell?

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').
