c/philly · by tcely@sh.itjust.works · 3yFixing the spelling? I just subscribed, but is there a reason why Philadelphia is spelled with as 'philodelphia' here?? 5 points · 4 comments · view on lemmy.world

I assume it's a clever pun. Philo means "to love" (it's where the suffix "-phile" comes from) so I would assume its a community for people who love Philadelphia.

no it's a shit post. i think it's funny to misspell things. reifies this sub's laid-back attitude, mirroring that of the city itself
the "phila" in "philadelphia" already means "to love" - check out the etymology
