Just informal. No real reason, though it has become very popular since text messaging on telephones has risen. Any word with 'igh' combos in it are more time consuming to "type" on a phone since they are all obtained from the same numeric key. 'ite' becomes faster because they use different keys. But rest assured, we've changed a lot of spellings officially over the years, but this one remains a slang only. :lol:
Back to the thread, the pictures look great and I'm so glad that this "tribute" to the old Mickey Mouse Revue is here. I got to see the Revue in Tokyo Disneyland many times last year when I was working there, and even though it was very outdated it was still so charming. This is a nice throwback to that.
Can't wait to see it next weekend! :sohappy:
