    It tried to post this:
    Actually that sort of ‘folk’ pronunciation spelling is extremely useful to historical linguists.
    In hundreds of years scholars will use correspondence of this sort to develop an understanding of AUTE (American Uneducated Twit English)!

    Always supposing they want to.

    BTW ‘retart’: I suppose this to be the low slang ‘retard’, and to be an interesting example of the American voicing of the alveolar plosive in a terminal position.

    Not to be a Donny Downer but one of these days, and quite soon, actually, Knut is going to face the realization that life is not all comfy chairs, watermelons, strawberries, cakes, banannas, and mysterious things wrapped in white paper. Who’ll be your bringer-of-offerings then, kid?
