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?
"Look at me!...I'm kool because I spell kool with a K instead of a C!"

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.
I despair too.
