Right, no, see, my point is that if the authors were going for more verisimilitude in their satirical Twitter account, making it sound like it's by one of the KITH temps kinda undermines that. But it wasn't actually a serious objection, because of course I can suspend my disbelief long enough to enjoy the joke.

Yeah, I dunno, maybe I need to apply more ostraeniya to it or something. If this was Valleyfair's Twitter account, it would make more sense.

At least several opportunities there to confound people re whether the p or l is pronounced, nice.
