The fun is knowing it's a cute little evolutionary quirk and not the correct usage.
The fun is saying it with a smile, not typing it into a legal document or into a tirade of some sort or using it unknowledgably showing an ignorance that can be easily measured.
Using Toad is fun and I often write tow'd, and I get it. It's cute.
There is no fun in thinking Toad is correct.
Our family Vega, when I was a kid, was the mighty verga.
Cute... Wrong, nothing I'd want people to think I thought was correct.
