"payed" isn't a word, you think a newspaper publisher would know that. Grammar aside, being 18 in a rural town in 2021 fucking sucks, of course those kids want out.
"Oh, you're going away to college? Naw dog, I want to make $11.50 an hour working the overnight shift at the gas station. Maybe I'll see a cool truck."
It's unfortunately a bit of a lose-lose. Anything other than extremely surface level updates to the spelling system will disadvantage speakers of nonstandard dialects. If we decentralize spelling rules and have everyone write as they speak, only those who speak standard-adjacent dialects will be widely understood in writing. At least in its current state, the spelling system is more or less equally shitty for speakers of basically every dialect.

It's accepted unfortunately and English is not a prescriptive language, but nevertheless I'll die here with you on Paid Hill
