Oooh. Thought it was an intentional typing quirk. Kinda like how someone I know always, always swaps out 'l' for uppercase 'I's........ (or vice versa) hecka annoying..
if it were me i probably would've just copy-pasted every w >w< on gaia, i saw someone's username was VVhip, but everytime i see it i don't think "whip", i literally pronounce it "vee-vee-vip" X'D
