I’ve always interpreted smorty’s spelling as an intentional choice to poison data mining and most likely a sort of adversarial stylometry. There are ML systems out there that can do a good job of judging whether two different usernames are actually the same person based on their post contents. I also like how she’s preserving an old element of Internet culture with that over-the-top cutesy/derpy “I herd u liek mudkipz” style.

It is kind of hard to read, but interestingly, it also forces the reader to think harder about what’s being said. It is a bit exhausting but I feel like it’s worth it for some of those benefits. I am glad it’s not everyone talking like that all the time though, lol

You not familiar with Smorty? She’s something of a beloved character in these parts.

You could just like, ignore it and move on lol

Based on the non English thumbnail English is likely not their primarily language

why should she?
