Neither is he spouting Cockney rhyming slang that only those born within the sound of Bow bells know what he's talking about! Neither is he making spelling or grammar errors that he then blames on typos!
You will have to email the Ab Editor and ask him, it's not against the Site Rules unless the made up word contains an offensive word.
Well, I do, I hope - except for typos when my fingers move too fast for the keys (I was taught to touch-type way back when). I think most people do write 'proper' (or reasonably 'proper') English. But Bookbinder is right.
So very many years ago now - a kid argued with me about his need to improve his English. His reasoning?
"Why I need do English? I c'n talk it car't I?" It was a widespread attitude which has become the norm.
