You realize I belong to an Ahmedi family? What kind of insidious “ingroup” is that in Pak context? Please tell that to any Pakistani who will collapse in peals of laughter.
If you want to talk down to someone who was born and brought up as one that’s your prerogative but you’re the one who’s looking stupid. Yes, your spelling is the “official” one.
You can think what you want. I tend to worry about people telling me my parents should be assassinated rather than which vowel to use (this spelling issue obviously doesn’t arise in Urdu)
