Ilha means "island" in Portuguese.
Liha means "flesh" in Finnish.
Hali means "hug" in Finnish.

(This might seem far-fetched, but remember the period. When do you use a period? When you finish a sentence.)

"Island" clearly means the Ark. "Flesh", because the Ark is made of flesh. Maybe it's Jay, maybe it's Alex, we don't know. "Hug" - to be close to the flesh that constitutes the Ark.

"Let me hug the flesh island" = "Take me to the Ark".

Seriously though, I've been in front of a computer while having a severe headache, and it's absolute torture. Typing errors are to be expected.

Yeah, a headache that includes hearing voices is probably going to mess up your typing.

Not sure if this theory has been thrown out there already, but what if TTA is J..? I mean, J didn't tell anyone that he was keeping "secrets" when he filmed himself at his house in entry #19. Also, the way he tweeted that last one reminds me of the way that TTA writes things in his videos. *shrug*

More code-speculating!

There are two extra periods in addition to the letters, so what I see just by using extra or omitted characters is: A H . I . L - but I can't make any sense out of that. Also, if we add in the swapped letters, we get ectobandit's awesome and thorough list posted earlier on this thread. I can't make any sense out of any of those combinations either. So I think our best shot is to focus on just extra or omitted letters - A H I L. HAIL.

Noun
* S: (n) hail (precipitation of ice pellets when there are strong rising air currents)
* S: (n) hail (many objects thrown forcefully through the air) "a hail of pebbles"; "a hail of bullets"
* S: (n) hail (enthusiastic greeting)
Verb
* S: (v) acclaim, hail, herald (praise vociferously) "The critics hailed the young pianist as a new Rubinstein"
* S: (v) hail, come (be a native of) "She hails from Kalamazoo"
* S: (v) hail (call for) "hail a cab"
* S: (v) hail, herald (greet enthusiastically or joyfully)
* S: (v) hail (precipitate as small ice particles) "It hailed for an hour"

I think it means that someone (something) is coming. My guesses: Jessica; someone we haven't seen in forever such as Brian or Seth; or the Operator.

Alternate theory: giant red herring. Typos mean nothing aside from emphasizing Jay's deteriorating mental and physical health. In any case, Jay's symptoms mean that the Operator is near, right? Looking back at the missing 7 months was fun, but it's nice to have some action in the present again!

Other alternate theory: Jay didn't post the last tweet. "Sleep now" is a very tidy opposite of the pre-season "Wake up" message in the twitpic that Jay didn't post.

Genuine theory #1
Jay is being greatly affected by whatever was on the video. If this is the case, it could be the Slender-amnesia conflicting with the returning memories.


Genuine theory #2
Jay is becoming another TTA. Or, if he is somehow TTA, that personality is bleeding through.

These two theories could possibly be connected. If the same thing happened with Tim (he found videos of memories he lost), that could have put him where he is now. The same could be happening to Jay.


Far-fetched theory #1
totheark/Masky somehow now have access to either Jay's accounts or Jay himself.


Far-fetched theory #2
Slendersickness is entering its final stage and killing Jay.


Far-fetched theory #3
The Operator is interfering with Jay's tweets like during the Red Tower incedent.

Derp theory
Jay got a headache from lack of sleep and accidentally butt-texted.

Or that. Jay could just have a headache and have trouble typing. I do that sometimes too.

I kid, I kid. Still, it's nice to have all theories on the table. Smile

*Came back to five more pages* Oh wow. Awesome.

Anyway, yeah. Going by what people are saying now, I'm going to hold onto 'hail' just in case. It's likely a red herring if it was intentional, but still. Ya never know.

I'm expecting J to deliver tonight, though. I'll likely not update this current topic with the newer tweets if there are any, since there's already a topic for that.

The only way I'll excuse a new entry not being posted tonight is if we get

Quote:
Coughing up blood, called an ambulance.


or

Quote:
I'm leaving this house, and I'm burning these tapes.


Then again, the second one would likely make me raeg against the heavens. (intentional typo.)

Another possible theory, and I brought it up in the main Twitter topic, but it sorta got lost in the flood, is this;

What if J's stalling and making up stuff so he won't have to show us/look at the tape anymore? There was something on the tape that made him not want to look at any more footage. Perhaps he just doesn't want to face up to whatever's on the tape. ( I believe, thinking on it, that we might be getting an explanation for the picture of Masky in J's hoodie. If I were in J's shoes in a situation such as that, I'd be going 'no no no no no, I can't watch this', probably. )

This is, of course, if J's an OVERLY unreliable narrator. We know he keeps secrets from us sometimes, but I don't know if he'd actually go so far as to feign sickness to get out of an important entry. If he is, then I expect TTA to call him out on it again before the entry. ( We've had two vids before an entry before, I think.)

I don't entirely want to believe that he'd go so far. I will however, call bollocks if he posts something such as:


Quote:
When I woke up, the footage for Entry 37 was deleted. Oh well, my headache's gone.


or

Quote:
Whoops, all the tapes just accidentally fell into the trash compactor I keep next to my computer. Oh well, no Entry 37.

Perhaps I'm simply an odd one, but I've noticed a lot of emphasis on the last line and the whole thing, yet hardly any on each line individually.

And the infamous:

Perhaps I'm not onto anything here, but the way

Quote:

is formatted sort of grabs me. Now, I know this is a longshot but please keep with me.

Now, we can assume J meant to post something like "Head's pounding." Even with a headache causing typos, though, the period at the front of this tweet just doesn't fit with the "natural tiredness" theory.

The period could be shrugged off as an "I meant to hit the shift key" moment, except for just where the keys are on the keyboard. The period's near the right shift, but people commonly (professional typists, stenographers (is that term even still in use anymore?) and secretaries and the like) are taught to use the left shift when pressing most letters on the right half of their keyboard. This includes the letter "H".

But Iatromantis, that sounds crazy and overly complicated! What if he doesn't type like that, or he tweeted from a cell phone? You could just be being stupid or over-analyzing it!
Fair point, hypothetical nay-sayer, but I'm simply tossing the idea out there as possible "proof" to the "something's going on, and it's not just J being upset" theory.

But then, I'm still new to actively contributing, and I'm probably not helping at all anyway... I'll go back to lurking now...

In my defense, I would just like to say I only chronicled the typos for the sake of having them all down in case it turned out something bigger was going on.

I did not personally start the HAIL. theory; I was just chronicling the typos. Just in case it turned out to be bigger than nothing. 'Cause you guys were all just dismissing them entirely, yet each tweet had exactly one real typo, one extra/missing letter. It struck me as peculiar.
