Hello all,
I am new here and I literally signed up hoping for advice on this question since it's sparse from what I've seen.
This one is particularly difficult for me when writing within our own real world. I've been told that writing an accent can be done without using the amateur "dis ting ent gud enuff" style but I've rarely seen it done and I would appreciate more insight on this. I agree that most made up spellings used to imply accent are pure manure but many accents are just plain difficult to get across on paper. I think the UK accents are easiest as they speak English but with an incredibly varying vocabulary, i.e. wanker, jobber, rubbish, copper, lift etc. But how does one get an Asian accent across without being, at best, unintelligible or, at worst, downright insulting?
Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks!
