    That’s so weird, I’ve literally never seen that form used even by people from the UK.

    I guess it’s plausible that they’d just write it like that, I guess.

    The secret third option is that they know that it’s a way of spelling it and prefer to use it because hehe n word.

      I thought, and a quick Google confirms, that it is used in the Harry Potter series a few times. Obviously, you might not have read them, but for people in my cohort, that was likely our largest exposure point to British culture.
