  Depends on the speaker.

  Some MCs do the same intro so often that it ratatats out like a semi-automatic:

    How gay3 they say them doesn’t make two (or more) distinct words into one.

      That’s true. But when you write it how it sounds, it looks like OP.

    But we agree it’s being transcribed as if someone didn’t pass elementary school, right?

      I’m around a lot of ESLs for work, and they make a lot of silly mistakes that are “obvious” to native speakers.

      Most of them are also smarter than me in multiple languages.

      I still use correct punctuation, but I don’t make fun of people for their English anymore.
