Maybe. But if you image someone with a deep accent, only fundamental reading skills, spelling words by sound... if you read it out loud it almost sounds rural Kentucky, or Tennessee.

Although, I don't know how they came up with "gledding," unless that's how they learned it by hearing it. It's consistently wrong, and no amount of accent accounts for it.

Ooo! I now what it sounds like! Have you ever seen the parody YouTube series "Precious Plum?" It reads like someone with that accent spelling by how they say the words.

Gelding is what they mean and a 1 character transposition happens by accident all the tiem.

Yeah I know what they mean; I've owned horses before. It's that they transpose multiple times, and I can't imagine mispronouncing that.

That's... A good point. I had missed the second instance somehow

Eh. My wife's with you: she thinks it's a troll, too.

Interestingly enough, it often maeks the same sound.
