Why We Say 'Ok'/ Why I Misspell 'their' (and why that's okay)

I found this video very freeing and validating. 

I'm from Boston having been born in Cambridge over 50 yrs ago. After watching this I now understand why I began favoring my accidental mistyping of the word 'their' when starting this blog so many years ago. 

My typing the word 'their' as "thier" may have started on PC keyboards when I was producing this blog primarily using library computers both public and in colleges and universities traveling the Traveler circuit around the United States beginning in 2007. 

Typing is something that I mastered in junior high school and it's shocking to me because I could not stand the rest of the curriculum. When I produce my story I will delve into how bad the public education system was then as well as other reasons why school was only part of my education in this world.  It certainly has impressed upon me the importance of obtaining a skill and carrying it with me for life. Even if life doesn't go where we think it's going to. 

It's true that there's this backlash against the elitism in the Boston area due to the structure, academia, medical establishment, etc. It's a reflex to these structures and traditions here to rebel against them. It's also something that globalism is trying to destroy in this area of the USA (along with the established structure I just mentioned)  and that is innovativeness.

One of the reasons I stopped using mispellings is because I mostly write on smartphones nowadays no physical keyboard.  The other is  because when I was framed in 2016 where a troll/hacker sent 3 emails under my name threatening law enforcement, prior to that someone most  likely the person responsible, had been sending viscous harassing comments on my blog for a year or so. In one phase of this someone kept criticizing me for my misspelling of 'their'. They also utilized a shorthand of my misspelling 'because' as "becuz" I think as the word 'cuz' in their harassing comments. After being framed I was afraid to use these little personal marks for fear of more imposters. 

As I began to give up the fun of misusing language I also considered that perhaps it may not be a bad idea to make this change because if non English speakers try to translate what I had written these little quirks may not translate and that defeats the purpose of my blog spreading awareness so I've stuck with proper spelling. 

This video however makes me feel much more reconnected to my original relationship with this blog and myself as more as an artist and adventurer than having to be so self censoring and grounded today. The video is funny in that early 2000s way (Spike Tv, MXC, Bro Comedy etc). 

Video begins in earnest at 0:36 as the beginning is a bit annoying.
