I’ve consulted many dictionaries, I have been unable to find out what an OYTER is. I’ve heard people say they have to “wreck an oyter”. What do they mean by this?

Many people who share your disability and simply cannot spell are quite bitter about their lot in life. Also, those with the speech impediment that prohibit them from voicing the letter “s”, share and foster these feelings of self pity and anger. Vandalism against oysters and other shellfish are a daily occurance in our coastal cities. Instead of jailing these hooligans, we should offer them classes in speech therapy and remedial spelling. If you’re one of these disenfranchised few, do all of us a favor and get help.
