Hey guiz, only a few more days of my probation. Woot woot.
I've never understood this, and maybe you can help me. Why do people add a letter to a word and change it into a totally different/nonexistent word (e.g. guys vs. guiz)? It would make sense if it saved time or something but... Yeah, it doesn't. So what's the deal there?

who rejected you??
One guy who thought I didn't spend enough time working on his survey, but I messeged him with details explaining that I read fast, but instead of fixing the rejection he sent me a 20 cent bonus. And some other lady who only wanted data from certain states but didn't set those states as a requirement because she sucks.

Here in Wisconsin, we commonly say "youse guyses".

Dude, be who you are and do what you want to do. I just seriously wondered about that trend and wondered about the reasons for it.
My thoughts are that because you are changing the word into a previously nonexistent word, that you just invented, it makes the word feel personal and unique. Wordplay has always been equated with wit/intelligence. So, it's a way of showing off your ability to bend a phrase.This is just a version of that, I think. Not trying to argue or anything and I really don't care about the subject. I was just bored and figured I'd chime in. :)
