Teh is anInternet slang neologism most frequently used as an Englisharticle, based on a commontypographical error of "the".Teh has subsequently developedgrammatical usages distinct fromthe.[1] It is not common in spoken or written English outside technical or leetspeak circles, but when at the time at which it is spoken, it is pronounced/tɛ/,/tə/, or/teɪ/.[2]
Teh originates from the commontypo ofthe, as might both occur and remain uncorrected when a person was typing rapidly prior to the widespread availability ofautocorrect helper applications, and has become conventionalized in a variety of contexts.
In addition, it is a standard feature of leetspeak[3] and can be used ironically[4] or to mock someone's lack of "techie" knowledge or skills, as an insult, or to reinforce a group's elitism;[2] cf.eye dialect.
