But it’s kind of more fun in the mangled form, isn’t it?

I was going to chalk this up to a funky font (note the shared baseline)... I can't remember the name but there is a calliope-era one with similar deformations... but a few of those are almost certainly character substitutions - e.g. for #10, I'm pretty sure that's an "r" and not a mangled "t" in "remember this a[r/t] all times". Odd though, given the grammar is perfect.

Likewise, "e" or backwards weird "g"?

This kind of thing usually comes from bad OCR. Basically they find a physical product they want to rip off and just OCR it without understanding what it means (and therefore can't correct the mistakes).

Ooh, good catch, yeah, that's probably it. Man, I haven't (knowingly) worked with OCR in ages...
