Akshully®, we'uns round cheer do mock-illiterate with total abandon. Sumpin' 'bout havin' to know the rules afore y'all can feck with'um, I 'spect...[snapping gum-e]
If you had done some extensive reading on the site before posting, you would notice that we are a relaxed bunch, for the most part. We also have some dyslexic members. Would you like to humiliate them for their misspellings while you are at it? See, if we don't need no steenkin' rulz, we don't need no steenkin' word police neither.

Of course you are, officer! Write me two tickets, officer! If you want, officer! No, I never put anything in the trunk, officer!

Ooookaaay.

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 :

I have turned my certificate from the Word Police Academy toward the wall in order to be allowed to continue to post here. Tell me when it is safe to turn it back around.
