Spelling
 

Why is it that many people seem to believe that the letter "U" is an acceptible substitution for the letters "OO".

The number of times I see people writing online such rubbish as "gud" the more I despair.

Well rant over.

Well, isn't it?... :? I is confoosed! :?

LOL!!!!!!!

I always find that OO is a good substitute for U....as in fOOked for example.

When INTENTIONALLY misspelled - like to avoid sensorship thats fine.

But when someone writes that they had got "hucked" on biking I got confused (confoosed ??? :P ) myself.

Is hucked (I figured it rhymed with erm f... erm ducked yes ducked will do) and wondered if it was just some regional slang.

Nothing personal in this, I see it from a lot of people in a lot of places, just wondered if I was the only person it annoys.
