boy But words that haven't been branded get all sorts of spellings. Philadelphia has no shortage of residents who insist that the way they spell “boul” — a Philly word for "boy" — is the only way that's true.

Drawlin has varied pronunciations, from leaning on the l, to vocalizing it lightly, to treating it as silent. Murray, like 18 percent of poll respondents, spells it as simply "drawn." Some residents have noticed that uses may vary if the speaker opts to conjugate: You drawlin, for the present, but you was drawn or even you drew for the past. Baron suspects that differing forms may hint toward distinctions in social groups. Baron and Jones agree that these shifts are how language evolves. Moore figures that some alternate stylings come from kids pulling older slang "up to date." For instance, he picked up how to text from an older sibling. "I picked up on it, and I knew what it meant," he said. "My younger generation, they basically spell it a different way." Murray said that sometimes she changes the spelling according to her mood. Classmate Ashley Murphy, 17, agreed. How she texts "ard," which is super short for "all right," changes based on whether she's "fed up" or not. Jones sees commonalities with how social media users spell and respell to how graffiti writers in Pompeii presented vulgar Latin. Even Pompeii, he wrote, had something like subtweets: "Samius to Cornelius: Go hang yourself!" Centuries later, the desire to represent oneself in writing persists. "People sometimes intentionally go out of their way to write how they sound on social media," said Jones. When social media users choose a regional marker like "youngboul," he said, they are trying to reflect how they talk. They also may be projecting how they want people to see them. Williams, for his part, is particular about the audience that gets to read that voice of his. “You can’t use it with everybody,” he said. “I use it strictly with who I know is going to understand me and relate to me.”
