Green Sun declares 'Teh' a new word

It seems 95% of all Green Sun citizens have near-perfect spelling, but most of them misspell 'The'. So, to prevent aggravation, the Green Sun government is now declaring the word 'Teh' a word, a synonym for 'The'. Peanuts were then given to the masses.

I'm not sure how bright you have to be to spell "the" correctly, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

The NNS Language Teachers' Union was seen to be protesting at Green Sun's 'wordisation' of 'teh' the Editing Union showed up and beat the teachers down after realising that they will earn millions correcting Green Sun literature for NNS distribution and will save millions not having to as carefully inspect works for the Green Sun markets

Seeing that as many Imitorans make the exact same mistake when typing quickly, Imitora joins Green Sun in making the word 'teh' a synonym for the word 'the'. The Imitoran government then proceded to tell every nation that had a problem with it to stuff it.

Following suit, Tannenmille also will begin recognizing "teh" as a synonym of "the". Not only that, but we will also see the following as words: "intarweb", "haxor", "asshat", "clownboat", and finally "shatstain".

The Government of Ageaol also makes words like 'teh' a real word and declares slang an official and acceptable dialect.

Pancaketopia officially announces it's support of the officialization of the word 'teh'. Otherwise the 733t loving hackers in our nation would flatten our cities and change the recipie in the national factory to make all of our nation's pancakes heavy and flat, ather than their fluffy goodness.

Green Sun is happy with the enormous support, wait, 'teh' enormous support of our change to the English dictionary. The people don't expect to use it too much, but they expect to use this new privilege to their advantage.
