@james85: Thee is Three? Is that only in pronunciation? Or a slay spelling as well?

@Zilya777: Slay spelling? I don't understand that? But it is slang :)

@james85: I meant both, slay & slang actually, because " we" slay English over here & slang is everywhere.
So if "Thee" is " Three" in your county/area, I'm really shocked. And wondering if it is pronounced as "Three". And did it get " slain", by "slang".. To point of the spelling.
God knows we here have slain enough words, so to have a spelling & miss-spelling.?
We have so much regional slang in USA, that it is ridiculous. Ex: mine is Mid-Atlantic dialect.. & I avoid slang... Lol

@james85: Ok. But to write a note, about 3 Ppl. Has the slag become so common, that the spelling of 3 is different?

Here, some slang, gets added to SOME dictionaries, but is not ""technicaly a word "
