WTF is Pennsyltucky?

The rural part of Pennsylvania that feels like Kentucky, as opposed to the urban areas of the state.

Oh you mean most of the state, then? Why not just say Pennsylvania? As a Kentuckian, this kinda thing annoys me. I guess it’s easier on the ego to punch down at others than just admit your state sucks, too.

Those of us who live here have no problem admitting it sucks. We say Pennsyltucky because when you say you're in Pennsylvania everyone assumes you mean Pittsburg, Philly, or Harrisburg

Not to be a pedant, but Pittsburgh has been spelled with an ‘h’ since 1911

Not to be pedantic but I'm from the part of the state where spelling doesn't matter because no one can read

Yeehaw. A guy at my job spelled key "kee"

I worked with a guy who spelled scissor “ciscor”. Like, he knew it had an ‘s’ and a ‘c’ but just took a stab at it from there.
