The link to San Francisco Bay View should stay. An example should be given of regular use of "Amerikkka." A search for "amerikkka" on Google News will always yield at least one sfbayview article.

I've added a mention of "Hillary KKKlinton" (along with a citation) since I've seen that too. Trilateral chairman 02:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
From the article: "Replacing the letter 'c' with 'k' in the first letter of a word came into use by the Ku Klux Klan during its early years in the mid to late 1800s." I'd like to see a citation on that. The Klan stuck "K" or "Kl" on the front of a lot of words ("klavern", "kloran"). Other than "Klan" itself, I can't think of other "c"-->"k" transformations, let alone enough to constitute a pattern, though I'll admit I'm no expert. - Jmabel | Talk 22:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
The article seems to be biased against certain parties, such as in the $ section. I think this section in particular should simply describe the use of currency symbols to replace letters, while leaving the examples out.-- GeneralDuke 16:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Alternative political spelling → Satiric misspelling — The article is about intentional misspellings used to satirize, not alternative variations in valid spelling (e.g., "honor" and "honour"). Its scope is not limited to politics. Also, the article seems to introduce "alternative political spelling" as a term for the phemenon, which violates WP:NOR. ("An edit counts as original research if it does any of the following: ... It defines new terms") "Satiric misspelling" seems more like a description than a name being given to the subject. – Sommers (Talk) 16:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Since it's been four days with no "oppose" votes, I'm going to go ahead and perform the move. Thanks to everyone who provided input. Further discussion of the article's title is welcome. – Sommers (Talk) 19:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
psychotherapist = psycho the rapist —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Imanadmin NOT ( talk • contribs) 03:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC).
" Oll korrect" should be mentioned in this article. Badagnani 06:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
"A similar usage in Spanish (and in Italian too) is to write okupa rather than "ocupa" (meaning a building or area occupied by squatters [6]), which is particularly remarkable because the letter "k" is not found in native Spanish words."
Kilógramo? Kinesiologo? Kirie? Kirieleison?
And from what I understand from living with a bunch of dirty squatters in Spain, is that the "K" thing comes along with solidarity with the Basques, who use "k" for all the hard "c" sounds as a separation form Spanish identity. Maybe I can find a source for this. Murderbike 08:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
The article mentions, without any source backing the hypothesis, that the K in okupa may be based in the widespread use of that consonant in Euskera. The theory is highly implausible, the well-known radicalism of the Basque left notwithstanding; for one, it's common in other Spanish-speaking countries, as well as in Italian, which is unlikely to have been influenced by Basque politics. It's far more likely to come from punk preference for K in the spelling of common words, and the long-standing liasion between punk counterculture and anarchism. Anarcho-punk is often spelled anarkopunk in Spanish. Taragüí @ 13:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Faux is sometimes used to replace parts of words as well, but is not mentioned here. 'Faux' means fake, so it is used in places like Fauxbook (for a fake account made in Facebook) or Faux News (in place of Fox news, commenting on how the network can report opinion instead of fact). Just a suggestion Good Tidings - Navarro ( talk) 23:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

ha haaaa this page is soooo funny lol! - RaNdOmGuY69 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.10.222.108 ( talk) 13:44, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
I commented out most of the lengthy lists, commenting, " Without citations, this list is excessive; I'd welcome them back with citations. I'd also like to see a citation on Demokkkrat and Kkkonservative."
Shorne restored most of the items in question 22:27, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC), saying they were "...cited many times on Google... I don't see much to be gained from specific citations for those that are widely used."
What is to be gained is to give some indication of who is using them. If they are being used almost entirely by 16-year-olds posting to each other's blogs, that's a very different matter than if they are being used by established organizations in their literature. I suspect that for most of these it is closer to the former. But, again, the list is simply excessive. Three items will suffice to illustrate the principle; the only good reason to list more would be if we can cite them being used in significant contexts. -- Jmabel 23:04, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
I don't think List of pejorative political slogans is the right place for these, either. I think it belongs on a new page, unless something more appropriate exists. I added it here because, at least in Spanish, it tends to be used by the same sources that use, for example, "amig@s". Maybe it's a new List of pejorative political word substitutions? And maybe part of List of pejorative political slogans should be factored out to that because they aren't really slogans? -- Jmabel 21:30, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)
Would Mortal kombat get stuck in here because of the "k"? or is this just political stuff? Firio ( talk) 02:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
I have noticed use of satiric misspelling in terms of Krusty the Clown and his products in The Simpsons episodes and comics. Examples are: Kamp Krusty (hard C replaced by K) and Kwality (Qu being replaced by Kw). -- Marianian ( talk) 19:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
I dont think its agood idea to use furom spaces to cite satric mispellings. Some effort should be made if people would like to keep these in. The danger here is that theres living people that are being defamed on the site without any valid source Ottawa4ever ( talk) 14:46, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm surprised CI$ doesn't have an entry here... not enough computing old fogeys around? I guess...

I created List of pejorative political puns and moved some of the material there that did not belong here because it had nothing much to do with spelling.
Also, I created a section "Hidden puns" in the present article for those puns that are wholly dependent on spelling. Shorne 19:09, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Should we include use of the swastika as a substitute for the letter S? I've seen many examples (notably the 2004 Republican Convention in NYC) of protesters replacing the letter S in Bush with a swastika. Is there a symbol to represent this? Probably not, but we should at least include a reference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.165.87.40 ( talk • contribs) 8 Jan 2006.
I recall seeing it in " Nixon" during the 1970s, and in Texas Aryans, both times substituting for the X. Reputedly the first use was commonplace in Fidel Castro's Cuba. The latter is by a racist group often associated with a prison gang.
The swastika is unwelcome and in some places illegal. Does it even have an ASCII code? The Hammer and Sickle does.
Some might be tempted to use it for the X in Ku Klux Klan and its obvious derivatives because of similar objects of hatred shared by the Klan and Nazis. Of course the letter X is rare in almost all European languages in Latin script. If anything, the SS-rune would have similar use because the doubled S is more commonplace -- but again, note that its appearance would be unwelcome and illegal in many places. Pbrower2a ( talk) 05:21, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
The swastika in fact has ASCII codes. Pbrower2a ( talk) 05:26, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Considering how much people whine about 'americentrism' in positive or neutral articles, it shouldn't be in a negative one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.130.241 ( talk) 20:06, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Many of the examples offered in the article are not at all satiric. They may be pointed, or jocular, or disparaging, but many don't employ "trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm ... to expose and discredit vice or folly." [1] Further, "misspelling" implies error, whereas these respellings are obviously intentional. I propose "Significant respelling", by analogy to significant names in fiction—i.e., names that evoke character-traits, such as Oliver Martext (incompetent priest) and Malvolio (ill-willed steward) in Shakespeare. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 16:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
A satiric is something satirical itself. That is, satiric is a noun. I believe satirical serves more properly for use in the article's title, and that it should be moved to Satirical misspelling. X-Fi6 ( talk) 05:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Do bear in mind that Wikipedia articles are intended to educate, not to catalogue. The article should provide enough examples to convey an understanding of the phenomenon, and should list some of the most important instances, but it should not attempt to include every possible example, or even every possible category of examples.
J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 16:44, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
...are these really misspellings? These are not characters in any alphabet (except maybe, maybe the Sig Rune); rather, they're the replacement of letters with similar pictures. It's just like when a company uses a logo that replaces a letter with a picture that looks like it (like the "c" in PacMan being replaced with a PacMan). I'm removing these sections, unless someone disagrees? Korossyl ( talk) 20:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
A swastika can replace an x, as in Nixon or Texas (as in "Texas Aryans") -- but they did it themselves, so it is not satirical. I am surprised to have not seen it in "Ku Klux Klan", in view of the Klan sharing the same bigotry as Nazis.
Use of the sig runs in entities related to the Schutzstaffel is deliberate and hence not satirical. Pbrower2a ( talk) 16:18, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
In the 1960s and early 1970s in the United States, leftists sometimes used Amerika rather than "America" in referring to the United States.[1] It is still used as a political statement today.[2] It is likely that this was originally an allusion to the German spelling of America, and intended to be suggestive of Nazism, a hypothesis that the Oxford English Dictionary supports. It may additionally have been an allusion to the title of Franz Kafka's 1927 novel Amerika.
Why would it be a Kafka reference? Seems like original research, so I'm removing it for now. Feel free to add it back if you can offer reasoning or a reliable source. 85.217.48.27 ( talk) 11:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
America with a K is clearly unsatiric when it refers to the Kafka novel. Such allows differentiation between Kafka's novel and many other references to the United States of America. Other uses of America with a K are potentially satiric or derogatory, as in the name of the miniseries Amerika in which the United States has been taken over by the Soviet Union.

The theory is highly implausible, the well-known radicalism of the Basque left notwithstanding; for one, it's common in other Spanish-speaking countries, as well as in Italian, which is unlikely to have been influenced by Basque politics. It's far more likely to come from punk preference for K in the spelling of common words, and the long-standing liasion between punk counterculture and anarchism. Anarcho-punk is often spelled anarkopunk in Spanish. Taragüí @ 13:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Faux is sometimes used to replace parts of words as well, but is not mentioned here. 'Faux' means fake, so it is used in places like Fauxbook (for a fake account made in Facebook) or Faux News (in place of Fox news, commenting on how the network can report opinion instead of fact).

I commented out most of the lengthy lists, commenting, " Without citations, this list is excessive; I'd welcome them back with citations. I'd also like to see a citation on Demokkkrat and Kkkonservative."
Shorne restored most of the items in question 22:27, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC), saying they were "...cited many times on Google... I don't see much to be gained from specific citations for those that are widely used."
What is to be gained is to give some indication of who is using them. If they are being used almost entirely by 16-year-olds posting to each other's blogs, that's a very different matter than if they are being used by established organizations in their literature. I suspect that for most of these it is closer to the former. But, again, the list is simply excessive. Three items will suffice to illustrate the principle; the only good reason to list more would be if we can cite them being used in significant contexts. -- Jmabel 23:04, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
I don't think List of pejorative political slogans is the right place for these, either. I think it belongs on a new page, unless something more appropriate exists. I added it here because, at least in Spanish, it tends to be used by the same sources that use, for example, "amig@s". Maybe it's a new List of pejorative political word substitutions? And maybe part of List of pejorative political slogans should be factored out to that because they aren't really slogans? -- Jmabel 21:30, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

I created List of pejorative political puns and moved some of the material there that did not belong here because it had nothing much to do with spelling.

Should we include use of the swastika as a substitute for the letter S? I've seen many examples (notably the 2004 Republican Convention in NYC) of protesters replacing the letter S in Bush with a swastika. Is there a symbol to represent this? Probably not, but we should at least include a reference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.165.87.40 ( talk • contribs) 8 Jan 2006.
I recall seeing it in " Nixon" during the 1970s, and in Texas Aryans, both times substituting for the X. Reputedly the first use was commonplace in Fidel Castro's Cuba. The latter is by a racist group often associated with a prison gang.
The swastika is unwelcome and in some places illegal. Does it even have an ASCII code? The Hammer and Sickle does.
Some might be tempted to use it for the X in Ku Klux Klan and its obvious derivatives because of similar objects of hatred shared by the Klan and Nazis. Of course the letter X is rare in almost all European languages in Latin script. If anything, the SS-rune would have similar use because the doubled S is more commonplace -- but again, note that its appearance would be unwelcome and illegal in many places.

Many of the examples offered in the article are not at all satiric. They may be pointed, or jocular, or disparaging, but many don't employ "trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm ... to expose and discredit vice or folly." [1] Further, "misspelling" implies error, whereas these respellings are obviously intentional. I propose "Significant respelling", by analogy to significant names in fiction—i.e., names that evoke character-traits, such as Oliver Martext (incompetent priest) and Malvolio (ill-willed steward) in Shakespeare. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 16:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
A satiric is something satirical itself. That is, satiric is a noun. I believe satirical serves more properly for use in the article's title, and that it should be moved to Satirical misspelling. X-Fi6 ( talk) 05:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Do bear in mind that Wikipedia articles are intended to educate, not to catalogue. The article should provide enough examples to convey an understanding of the phenomenon, and should list some of the most important instances, but it should not attempt to include every possible example, or even every possible category of examples.
J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 16:44, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
...are these really misspellings? These are not characters in any alphabet (except maybe, maybe the Sig Rune); rather, they're the replacement of letters with similar pictures. It's just like when a company uses a logo that replaces a letter with a picture that looks like it (like the "c" in PacMan being replaced with a PacMan). I'm removing these sections, unless someone disagrees? Korossyl ( talk) 20:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
A swastika can replace an x, as in Nixon or Texas (as in "Texas Aryans") -- but they did it themselves, so it is not satirical. I am surprised to have not seen it in "Ku Klux Klan", in view of the Klan sharing the same bigotry as Nazis.
Use of the sig runs in entities related to the Schutzstaffel is deliberate and hence not satirical. Pbrower2a ( talk) 16:18, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
In the 1960s and early 1970s in the United States, leftists sometimes used Amerika rather than "America" in referring to the United States.[1] It is still used as a political statement today.[2] It is likely that this was originally an allusion to the German spelling of America, and intended to be suggestive of Nazism, a hypothesis that the Oxford English Dictionary supports. It may additionally have been an allusion to the title of Franz Kafka's 1927 novel Amerika.
Why would it be a Kafka reference? Seems like original research, so I'm removing it for now. Feel free to add it back if you can offer reasoning or a reliable source. 85.217.48.27 ( talk) 11:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
America with a K is clearly unsatiric when it refers to the Kafka novel. Such allows differentiation between Kafka's novel and many other references to the United States of America. Other uses of America with a K are potentially satiric or derogatory, as in the name of the miniseries Amerika in which the United States has been taken over by the Soviet Union.
