I'm Evil

So, I was reading this little history nugget about Melville Dewey - very interesting for a short piece, I might add (thanks, LIS News) - and I came to this:

While Dewey never returned to live in Massachusetts, he maintained a lifelong affection for Amherst. In 1881, he wrote, "Sum day, dear Amherst, may it be my happy lot tu pruv how great iz the love I bear yu. Proud, always, everwher to be counted among yur sonz, I am Very truly, Melvil Dui."

And, heaven help me, the first thing that came to mind was, "Did he text this?"

Obviously, I need to get out more.
