      Both are correct. Language changes.

      Do you say *newb when correcting people that spell it noob because the origin of the word is newbie?

        That’s different.

        Anyone who says “sike” over “psych” is a sike-o, plain and simple.

        No I will not elaborate further.

        Both are correct. Language changes.

        Does that mean that “there”, “their”, and “they’re” can be used interchangeably now? Because that is much, much more common.

          No, because those all mean different things. Sike and psyche mean the same thing. Nobody needs to get pedantic about the correct spelling of slang used by elementary school kids in the 80’s.

        “language changes” does but make something magically correct.

        It’s not “pasgetti”, it’s “spaghetti”.

          It doesn’t change magically. It changes through continuous usage and acceptance from society. That’s how language works.

          Some examples. When was the last time you heard somebody say something was “awful”, as in awe inspiring? When a kid says literally, do you take them 100% seriously or do you accept that the word’s changed to be a synonym for “figuratively” among younger people? And as far as spelling is concerned, colour and color are both correct spellings, depending on where you live. Gray vs grey, acknowledgment vs acknowledgement, same thing. Or look at barbecue vs barbeque; the latter was incorrect for a very long time until the popularization of the abbreviation BBQ, after which it became a commonly accepted variant.

          These things were not always correct, and yet, now they are. Society adopts and uses different meanings and spellings for words all the time. Sorry friend, you’re not the arbiter of English. It changes with or without you onboard.

            Neither are you, friend. One webcomic does not change the language.

            Enjoy your pasgetti with tomatoe sauce while you drink your expresso. Remember to enjoy it’s flava.

      As in short for “paych-out”.

      I’ve seen many people insist Ir’s “sike”, though.

        I’d like to hear their rationale for that. I’ll bet it’s something like “That’s how I saw it spelled”.

    Ah, the classically correct spelling of the term. Well done.
