@Felthry we've been practicing being chill with variant spellings because a friend of ours gets super uncomfortable with reflexive spelling and grammar corrections?
but we see where you're coming from
"mastadon" is ... phonetic but jarringly nonstandard
@Felthry *records zirself on zir phone experimentally*
The vowel we use seems to be plausibly spelled with an "a" there, so yeah - I guess our dialect is one that pronounces it that way?
