monkies
Why do so many people spell 'monkeys' as 'monkies'?
​
I've seen at least three individuals use the spelling 'monkies' in the past month, and at least once someone has discussed 'donkies'.
​
They've written it repeatedly in the same post, so I believe they actually think that they are using the correct spelling.
