The standardization of spelling is a relatively recent phenomenon.

the whole idea of standardizing language as a whole has seemed pretty ridiculous to me lately. does it really matter what is said and how as long as the idea is conveyed? an icon of a middle finger and "me want food" explain clearly with very little what complex language does for those not lazy enough to ignore it. yet, broken english remains funny.

still, some things are annoying, like your/you're and its/it's

"I don't like to tawk, just rawk and suck cawk. How does that sound?"

"Like you're from New York."

New Yorkers (like me, most of my life) say tawk, but rahk] and cahk.

edited because the italic tags are now lower case for some reason...
