Someone should explain to me why, if English is your primary language...if that's what you speak over half the time, and choose to write in, why write with an accent...why the dialect?

How would you all like to try and read all of my entries if they were in a Southern (American) dialect? Yeah...neither would I. (point of ref: I don't HAVE a Southern accent, but if I did...)

At any rate, I can take writing in accent and dialect from some very well-written short stories, but what the fuck?

Why?
Really...I'm curious

I can't speak for Cilian, but I personally find it more entertaining when he writes with his accent. He can write without it. I have experienced this quite a few times in the almost four years I've known him. He obviously prefers to write with it. I harped on him about it when I first met him, too. But, seriously, he's not writing in his LJ for your entertainment. He's writing for his own...and, more importantly, for mine. *broad grin* So if you don't like his accent/conveyed persona, find it annoying to read posts written with the accent, or think it is tedious or hard to understand, then perhaps you should....not read his posts?

See, that is ALL I wanted to know. That he chooses to write with it.
damn.

I read his posts because I do enjoy them...but I have wanted to ask him why he writes like that since the day I first saw his journal.
That's all.

Thank you.
