Zodiac Killer Phrases, Words, and Speech Patterns
This is useful for a few reasons.
1. Words and phrases he use tell us more about who he was
2. Speech patterns and words could help tell where he was from and help to compare to suspects words and speech patterns
3. Misspelled words could help us with words he misspelled in the code which makes them harder to solve. A lot I think he did on purpose because he used correct spelling in other places and some could just be normal errors one makes when writing (which we all do)
Phrases and words The Zodiac used that I find interesting.
These may be added to over time and I may add notes to why I think some are interesting.
Why are there quotations in places where there are no words?(I think this is an overlay key and these quotations mean I have to go back and see if these may relate to that in any way)

please = pleass or maybe pleas = pleass (i have to reread letters)
possibly = posibly
promised = promiced
provinces = provences ( I find it interesting he used this word though it could have been part of the original mikado play. I have to check. either way it is interesting he remembered how this went word for (almost basically) word. I think he had the words to this readily for reading.
shaking = shakeing (you will notice he either does this on purpose or is just writing and not thinking about spelling because at other times we will drop the e when adding ing but in a lot of cases does not. This shows he knows the correct spelling but why he does this is the question. on purpose or accident? either was you must look for misspellings like this in the codes.
