• I feel alternately sad and disbelieving when I see this one. The poster is either fake, or obviously lacking in a basic education. This goes beyond stupidity, and speaks rather to someone who wasn’t given any schooling, and is spelling entirely by sound. The latter just makes me sad.

      • Maybe. But if you image someone with a deep accent, only fundamental reading skills, spelling words by sound… if you read it out loud it almost sounds rural Kentucky, or Tennessee.

        Although, I don’t know how they came up with “gledding,” unless that’s how they learned it by hearing it. It’s consistently wrong, and no amount of accent accounts for it.

        Ooo! I now what it sounds like! Have you ever seen the parody YouTube series “Precious Plum?” It reads like someone with that accent spelling by how they say the words.
