"Kitteh"??? WTF? Can someone please tell me when we'll go back to spelling things correctly?

Where did this 'kitteh' stuff come from? Why is it better than writing 'kitty'?



I even saw 'puppeh' the other day.

Let me know when we return to normalcy.

And get the hell off my lawn.

Nope. I got nothin'!


I'm bothered by the new fad of leaving out the word "Of" that is so prevalent;

"We are exploring Mars because science".

Shit like that. Bugs the fuck out of me.

that animals are all illiterate, or dyslexic, or something.

These meme things may be the death of our language.

So whenever I used the word I would spell it, but she soon learned how to spell.

She speaks not only cat-ese, but English and Japanese as well, perfectly. None of this "I kin haz" stuff.

Harry Whittier Frees (1879–1953) was an American photographer who created novelty postcards and children's books based on his photographs of animals. He dressed the animals and posed them in human situations with props, often with captions.

"Jeebus" and "teh" and "moran" came from. The InterWebs is a weird place.

for dah Cat.

We worship Kittehs here, in case you haven't noticed.

'Morans' brings us back to the sign, 'get a life Morans' by the Non- Morans.
There was something about a coincidental matching last name or something . . .

'lotsmore kthnksbye' is just what you say when you die from teh cuteness overload.

I have no clue where 'teh' came from.

Ok now to read what yaal wrot til i cant stay awake . . .
