Oh hai thare
So you want to speak lolcat? It isn't very easy and you may end up with some kitty scratches in the end. The purpose of this page is to offer help on proper lolcat syntax and grammar. Don't worry if you don't get it at first. It takes some practice but in the end you'll end up with proper lolcat that is both cute and funny.
This isn't fully written though. I shall be doing that soon. For now, if you really want a crash course go to icanhascheezburger and read the comments there. These are the experts. Yes, really.
Here we go!
General Spelling Rule: Homonymous Misspellings
While some of the rules about spelling pertain to common typing errors, baby-talk, kindergarten misspellings and community-specific mannerisms found on online message boards, the important skill is to learn when using lolspeak is how to borrow the spelling of certain parts of one word to misspell another word that shares certain phonetic sounds (or that just rhymes).
You can mix them around like this:
ghost -> goast or ghoast (borrowing from "toast" or "coast")
feet -> feat (borrowing from "meat" or "heat")
moan -> mown (borrowing from "own" or "mow")
crowd -> croud (borrowing from "cloud" or "found")
nothing -> nuthing (borrowing from the typical sound of the letter "u" as in "umbrella" or "hut")
