"What about Tinie Temple? And what _is_ it with people corrupting the language with such ridiculous spellings? The word tiny should be spelt t-i-n-y. If people can not learn to spell properly and speak properly, I will not hesitate to contact the appropriate authority and report this abomination of this language. It's a disgrace to humanity." --- is something Norris would probably say.
My comment was meant to be a very bad impression of Norris, but you have a point. I also find it stupid when people refuse to say a full word. Why do people insist on saying "legit" all the time, instead of "legitimately" or "legitimate", for example?
