While I am guilty of using "tho'" in place of "though" in casual writing
I actually love "tho" a lot. Not sure why.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think "tho" has a real place on the internet. Like, typing "why tho" is SO DIFFERENT from typing, "Why, though?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
How do people feel about thru vs. through?

Hey. New board.
I am okay with thru. Frankly I would be fine with a universal decision to drop all of the ough(t) words. They are weird.
Thots would not be my preferred spelling for thoughts though. Thauts maybe.

Hey. New board.
Now I want to do this.
Through becomes thru. Rough becomes ruff. Dough becomes doe. Thought becomes thaut. Cough becomes cauph or I guess cauf. Though becomes tho. What am I missing?

You know, there used to be people protesting the National Spelling Bee ... they may still be protesting when it takes place. Their position was that by insisting on standardized spelling, kids with dyslexia or other learning issues were being disadvantaged.

Cough becomes koff, which is often the phonetic rendering, anyway.
