What is this Breakinh?

Is this some part of popular culture? I don't mind being hip and whatnot, but can we draw the line at proper spelling and grammar?

You missed it last night. It was a misspelling that has become a freeperism, like stuned beebers.

I sympathize with your point of view. The attractiveness of FR is due in part to its professionalism. We are somewhat relaxed about it though and have some words that are characteristically spelled "odd" such as "series" and "stuned".
Maybe someone more experienced here than I could publish a quick list of the excepted words. If we keep making exceptions "willy nilly" I am afeared we may end up looking like DU! Maybe there should be guidlines for accepting alternative spellings. But I probably shouldn't say too muc since I don't recall studying up on all the posting rules myself yet.

See my prior post -- It's my best televangelist voice. It's a southern thing.
