Eh, it’s probably meant to appear charming and rural. Bleh.

Right. It’s a common intentional colloquial misspelling.

Isn’t a “punkin” a cute little kid? I don’t see any kids for sale (but 39 cents per pound WOULD be a bargain).

I agree - a young John Lydon, maybe?

So the question is — do you still fail if you misspell intentionally in an effort to be charming?

Answer — yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Even more so.

If you’re a tard who made a grammatical mistake, you’re still firing on more cylinders than the uber-tard who did it on purpose.

Isn’t that the entire concept behind I Can Has Cheezburger?

Oh, the irony.

This is an obvious spelling fail but you would be surprised how prevalent people say punkins down here in the deep south.

argh my ex used to all ways spell it punkin, whenever I corrected him he’d just ignore it

Now that I think about it, I think he pronounced it that way too… what the HELL was I doing!?

I agree. It’s supposed to be cutesy.

That doesn’t count. Those are kitties. Kitties can’t spell for beans.

all ways? ha fail
