    Repeating the last letter to denote holding a word out is one of my biggest icks for captioned images/memes.

    Is rarely the sound that would be lengthened, and it gets super double extra annoying when the repeated letter is SILENT.

    “Voteeeeeee” is just unambiguously wrong, and the creator of the title of this post should feel bad.

    Edit: Why are you booing me? I’m right.

      Our republican-defunded education system is really in the shitter, and test scores have been in freefall. We should probably savor what grasp of english writing people have now as its almost certainly going to decline.

      Anger over repeated trailing silent letters is the least of our problems, so we have that going for us.
