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
