Piggy doesn't read this thread. So he hasn't read any of the recent posts shitting on him for not completing his dumb Tiny Tim book. That's why he's suddenly tweeting about it again:

Fat is such a moron. The fact that the word 'ditto' has existed in the English language since 1625 doesn't mean that it would have been used the same way. People in the 1800s had a style if speech markedly different than we use today. Especially in literature, they took care to express themselves in an educated manner. I can just see Fat's dialogue shaping up now:
"I'm disgusted by the lack of spices in your bangers," Tiny Tim said with a scowl.
"Ditto," said the sexy cat lady, eyeing a dark-skinned serving boy in the corner with predatory eyes.
Fat shouldn't be googling random words to get the sense of how to structure his dialogue, he should be reading actual period literature. Find me one instance of any book using, 'ditto' the way Fat is going to, and I'll eat Hooligan's mystery meat loaf. Of course the problem is that Fat doesn't have enough reading comprehension to make it through a book with the level of vocabulary that Dickens would have used.
eta:
To prove my point, I searched for the word, 'ditto' in a couple of books, with the following results.
A Christmas Carol: 0 uses of the word
Bleak House: 0
Great Expectations: 0
David Copperfield: 0
Of course, Dickens wasn't the only author, so I tried a few others.
Frankenstein: 0
Dracula: 0
Tom Sawyer: 0
The Three Musketeers: 0
Crime and Punishment: 0
Les Miserable by Victor Hugo further proved my point by using the word once:
The Thénardier woman hastened to him.
“Here’s the letter. You know what you have to do. There is a carriage at the door. Set out at once, and return ditto.”
Yes, the word was in the text, but it wasn't used in a way we'd use it today.
