What's with the creative spelling?

[manhattan]

From the Inside Jokes section of OpalCat’s Teeming Millions Web Page :

manny instead of many, ie, “There are manny manny posts in the Ruda Duda thread.” – Once upon a time (last December, thereabouts), a dude named ZSPhobiaSZ started posting to the MB. All his posts started like this: MANNY PEOPLE ASK ME AND NOW I WONDER… He always typed in all caps, had horrific spelling, and was amazingly racist and ant-Semitic. So much, so, that a lot of people began to suspect that he was really a reg in disguise, trying to piss people off. He became known as Manny Peoples, and people make fun of his spelling by spelling many as manny to this day. Some of his posts are enshrined on the Page O’ Flames. [explained by Kyla Sedai]

I actually read this before I selected my username, blissfully unaware that the username would acquire its own nickname.
