I'm mbarrassd to admit that I had to think abot that on for a mint.
"Danc lik nobody's watching"
C. Gittins brings to pass, with aplomb and dignity, a skit which avoids and abstains of glyphs common in oral diction and writing. Dodging this or that symbol which might look as if child's play: still is a trial. A trial in which brooking a wordsmith might find a downfall. I am glad to jot my opinion, so: what a joy! My acclaim is not solo in acclaim this composition will find, i'faith! May I show my hand in saying this bold claim: it is a mirth tornado.

Good work in avoiding tricky contraband symbols. It was a first class job. Top marks my man.

doesn't contraband refer to objects that are illegal? Surely she means 'banned' or illegal or something. But far be it from me to contradict OUP.

load of typical Oxford shit they call wit
That was painful to watch and even less funny. Just sad.
Don't get it - I mean, I get she's not using "e" or "u" but otherwise i just don't get it.
