Interesting rumor about Venom from Bnet

[Archon_Wing]

I for one don't know anything about spelling the word with an -a rather than an -er to convey a softer meaning. I've never heard of that. To me it's the same word, spelt so as to slip past the filter

Umm, I'd just like to point out that the term "nigga" is frequently used due to the hip hop culture in America. The people who usually speak like that usually don't carry any malice.

The other word, n****r, still carries the same negative racist connoation, and is generally considered more offensive. Of course, the racist origin of the word can't really be denied.
