When is this going to not be cool anymore? When will people stop spelling things with different letters because they think it's cool...or because they think they are cool because they spell things with different letters..

Boyz instead of boys..boi instead of boy..kwik instead of quick...etc etc. I'm not talking abbreviations to make spelling in posts faster. I'm talking straight up substitutions just to be cool.

At what age do people grow out of this? Post high school? Post college/university? Post 40?

Actually, I kind of regard intentional misspellings as harmless fun....as long as the person doing it actually knows better, and is able to communicate intelligently if needed. They could be getting into worse trouble. I was a little shocked to read this morning that one in four t33n gurlz in the US has an STD.

The worst is this new(ish) trend among young parents who give their kids intentionally misspelled names in order to make them more unique.

Examples:

* Abigail--Abbigail, Abagale, Abigael
* Allison-- Allisenne, Alisyn
* Avery-- Avaree, Avareigh
* Brianna-- Breighanna, Bree-Anna
* Destiny-- D'estiny, Destanee, Destyneigh
* Emily-- Emilee, Emmalie, Emmalee, Emileigh
* Grace-- Grayce, Graece

* Isaac-- Izak, Izaak, Isaak, Izach
* Jackson-- Jaxon, Jaxson, Jakson, Jacksen
* Logan-- Loegan
* Michael-- Mykal, Mychal
* Nicholas- Nikkolas
* Tyler-- Tylar, Tieler
* Zachary-- Zakary, Zakkary, Zacharie

Yes, there's a lot of work to do.

Once I learnt that people were naming their daughters Chardonnay, I gave up all hope for the human race.

It gets worse. An increasingly popular name for girls in the US is Nevaeh - "heaven" spelled backwards.

I despair too.

This kind of misspelling is very hard to read for a non native English speaker.
