Default the word "the"

now Im not english major by any means but why do I see so many people on the inter-net spell the word "THE" as "teh", am I missing something? or did things change in school over the last 30 years?

i'm going to have to guess that it's a typo that people are too lazy to go back and fix

It originated as a typo, then people thought it would be cool.

try blowing something up. Always puts me in a great mood.

I recommend 1 part Red Dot smokeless powder and .1 part aluminum powder. A good strong container is best... so is a very long fuse.
