All fine and dandy, but intentional misspellings by rap "artists" or marketing departments don't change the dictionary. The opposite of heavy is not "lite", the opposite of day is not "nite", and an inner city area heavily populated by that city's poor is not a "geto".

As I said above, if it's done for humorous effect, great. If it's a typo, well hey, we all make those. If it's done unintentionally, it rather undercuts one's ability to make arguments pertaining to education.
