FESTERS PLACE

I'm very confused by this one. Why do people spell 'the' like 'teh' a lot these days. At first I thought it was a typo. Mixing up letters when typing is easy to do. But I've seen this too much for it to be a mistake. Can anyone explain. Bosco confused. Or should I say, bsoco cnofsued

In a way it makes people seem ''cool'' by going like t3h awzome but it sounds silly ^^

"Teh is an internet slang neologism most frequently used as an English article, based on a common misspelling of the. A common typographical error, this typo became a part of Internet slang and subsequently developed grammatical usages distinct from the.[1] It is not common in spoken or written English outside technical or leetspeak circles"

gwan teh wiki!

Curse you lol cat generation and your tricky grammer!!

Yeah i suppose it comes from that mocking/cute/retarded intenet language that I always read as if its being said by a 7 year old.

It is just gay. it is quicker to type 'the' than 'teh'... (by milliseconds)

Cheers Metal and del. I've learned something today. In fact I learned 2 things, as I had no idea what a neologism was either. Didn't even know it existed.

so just to be sure I've got it:

'I gotta go and put teh dinner on' would be wrong, but
'Did you see that bottle kill, i am teh leet pwner cyclops' would be perfectly correct.

Its a funny old interweb we live in

Hmm I remember from the old 24/7 2fort days a guy named "Teh Pauleh" lol
So it's - not offensive meant- "old"

For all your neologisms and slang, I refer to :

It would be correct if you changed dinner to 'dinnerz' and ended the sentence with a 'rofllmao!!!'
