I just subscribed, but is there a reason why Philadelphia is spelled with as 'philodelphia' here??

the mod is lovely, but slightly deranged.

I assume it's a clever pun. Philo means "to love" (it's where the suffix "-phile" comes from) so I would assume its a community for people who love Philadelphia.

no it's a shit post. i think it's funny to misspell things. reifies this sub's laid-back attitude, mirroring that of the city itself

the "phila" in "philadelphia" already means "to love" - check out the etymology
