Where did that come from? I knew it was an illiterate meme, my question was was it mock-illiterate for "particularly" or something else. I really hate to spoil the joke, but in order to explain myself I have to tell you that I questioned it because I thought -- I hoped -- there was something more to it. I guess I overestimated you. It was as underwhelming a "joke" as I first reckoned. Nevermind. And seeing as you are dragging dyslexics into this from your moral high horse, let it be said that no dyslexic in his right mind would want to see literate people imitating illiteracy; not only because he would feel like it was a joke at his expense, but also because it would defeat the point of coming to a word forum to improve his literacy. God help us it has all gotten suddenly very, very childish : Quote: Akshully®, we'uns round cheer do mock-illiterate with total abandon.
