What's so cool about misspelling "the?"

Why do people why "teh?" Also other mistakes: "mah" for "my." Any more? Reasons?
Oh, and isn't "meh" the sound a goat makes?  tongue

Re: What's so cool about misspelling "the?"

Probably because they have no lives and that's how they talk in real life. I was raised knowing that grammar is super important, I used to do text talk but I never do anymore. And also: What's with the excessive punctuation? Everyone needs only one exclamation point, not 50,000,000,000,000.

Re: What's so cool about misspelling "the?"

I hate it when people use it a lot, but I will occasionally use it for character.

It shows a lack of seriousness, in a case where the sentence could be rude or funny.

I hate it that you hate "teh", teh word "teh" is awesome because of teh tehness.


I tried to use 'teh' as many times as I could in a sentence  tongue

Re: What's so cool about misspelling "the?"

I like to use mah and teh sometimes, but not in an everyday conversation. However, I use meh to express a neutral attitude, like this;

"How do you feel about global warming?"
"Meh."
"And how do feel we should react to the effects of rain shadow and urban heat together?"
"Meh."
