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

As long as you don't think that's what I am doing... even if I am legit in being foreign and actually being better at another language.

No, I never thought that about you. :)

Oh good. You'd be surprised how many people try to whip out thee "I spell gooder than you"-argument whenever a discussion arises...

Besides, I don't have much ov an accent. I may construct odd sentences though, but that's about all I do that makes my writing resemble my speech.
