(Somewhat tongue-in-cheek here.)

In your opinion, is "liek whoa" or "like woah" more correct? Or do you prefer some other combination? Show your work.

When one intends to convey inappropriate sniggering on having read a probably-unintended sexual implication into something, why is it most common to describe oneself as being, specifically, twelve? Why not eight, ten, thirteen?

Exactly. Lots of people can't spell "whoa" correctly, so misspelling it doesn't come off as ironic, it comes off as ignorant. Whereas most folks can spell "like" correctly, so "liek" is most liekly intentional (see what I did there?), tho' possibly a typo.

In short, I prefer "liek whoa" because it makes it clearer that the misspelling is not accidental.
