I voted feigned. It is not my belief that the Zodiac intentionally misspelled words to conceal, but rather, to reveal himself.

As a dyslexic person I see his/her/their misspelling in my own writings. As noted, "Z"'s punctuation and syntax is for the most part, correct. I have not heard much about run on sentences.

Where he spells "cid" in his April 20th, 1970 letter, he uses the letter "a" to preface it. I think he might be hinting at "acid", so that the letter really means, "There is more glory in killing a...
