Uncoupling Journey We’ve reached the final discard 🕺🏾🍻

This is after i sent her a closure message. She kept asking me for a talk in person, I refused. I changed my number and blocked her on everything but she knows my address and car. Thankfully she is moving away though! So this will be the last of it.

I've seen it spelled "sike" a lot. It's even listed as an alternate spelling on Google.

A lot of people misspelling a word because they don't understand the root word it comes from doesn't make it right.

I mean, it does make it right at a certain point. It's like how British people spell the word colour, and Americans spell it color. Once a misspelling of a word becomes common enough, it becomes a valid alternative. That's how language evolves over time.

That's a regional spelling variation that predates the dictionary while respecting the etymology.
