Image transcription: a screenshot of a Twitter post by “atrophy wife 🦋” (@zusa_real). It reads: “old english writers: alas! how could we possibly mark a word that is shortened? the apostrophe:” Below is an image of a cat Photoshopped to be in the shape of the aforementioned punctuation mark. End transcription.

    English is actually an amazing language for improvising words. The Frankensteinification of our language is awesome for wordsmithing. The jabberwocky is a poem that fit best in the English language.

    Also I had to fit “maybe we will” into two syllables for a song, and it works. “Maybe’l” gets the point across well.
