This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's so weird, I've literally never seen that form used even by people from the UK.

I guess it's plausible that they'd just write it like that, I guess.

The secret third option is that they know that it's a way of spelling it and prefer to use it because hehe n word.

I thought, and a quick Google confirms, that it is used in the Harry Potter series a few times. Obviously, you might not have read them, but for people in my cohort, that was likely our largest exposure point to British culture.
