Default Re: American accents that really bug you

Dude.

There is always going to be a bias when going from something that is phonetically spelled, to the spoken word.

That bias is the result of your upbringing.

When you go from the phonetics to the word, you can't say 'this is wrong' because you think it's wrong.

Its only wrong, if its end result isnt another person knowing what phonetic it was supposed to be.



(also... you need to get your sarcasm detector fixed. When I said New Yorkers dont have accents, I was illustrating that I can arbitrarily choose any local)
