Phonetically-Spelled Apology Letters

A majority of my students got in trouble and/or were being disrespectful during P.E. time. The coach was baffled by their behavior because they are not usually the troublesome class. I told the students how sad I was that they would disrespect another teacher so I had them write apology letters to the coach. I read through them and found some of their spellings to be quite humorous. Here are just a few (I'll let you try and figure out the words):

Dear Mrs. N,
I love you.
I am sore.
I am gunu chrigh my best.
I will never be bad.
I will olwast love you.
I will never tok back.
I will owas git in lin.
I will not make a mab fas.
I will not poosh.
I will not act crase.


I am sorry.
I will be good nexst PE. I promis to never be bae.
I will dowene thang to get jor chrust beck.
I will never de bae a gen. I am sory for being bae.


I am soure for bisobating.
I am soure for playing in line.
I am soure for enoring.
I am soure for playing when I dot spostow.


I'm sore Mrs. N. I will be good nack time.
I wont to do good. I will not dispact.


I am sorry. I will be good. I will never be bad again.
I will try not to bring flip flops again.


OK, I know I said to figure out the words on your own, but just incase you had a little trouble, here's some translations of a few of the more challenging ones:

sore, soure = sorry
gunu = "gunna"
chrigh = try
olwast, owas = always
crase = crazy
bae = bad
chrust = trust
dowene thang = do anything
bisobating = disobeying
enoring = ignoring
dot spostow = not supposed to
dispact = disrespect
