Why are they calling it Aafrica? Or is that just part of the other typos / spelling errors?

This is likely because in the song from which this meme is riffing of of, Africa is sung with an elongated “a” like “aaaafrica”

Edit: Africa by Toto, 1:20 seconds in

Äfrica

That'd be pronounced like Ehfrika

It's a reference to Toto's song "Africa", and in the line "I bless the rains down in Africa" the "A" gets extended a lot.

They did it twice so it seems intentional. Beats me though.

I didn't even see the second one fully, as it was behind an icon. Thanks for spotting that one for me

D&D campaign changing the names of real places to keep the fantasy setting?

Anyone else read that as Jackie Daytona?
