I worked with this Qanon dude that couldn't (or maybe wouldn't?) write or say the word "patron." He always wrote, read, and said aloud the word "patriot" instead. This happened a lot, because he was a supervisor at a casino. He had no other issues with language, reading, etc., and he wasn't joking around because he didn't joke around. He just seemed to genuinely think those words were interchangeable. Or it was almost as if he thought the word "patron" was made-up. At first I was like, "wow, I'm obsessed with this." After a few months of him never, not even one time, saying the word "patron" I was like "wow, I am shook and shaken to my very core."

I never asked him why he did it because he wasn't fond of me already. But if anyone else ever asked him, then I wasn't there for it.
