I was born in North Notts and lived there until I was 16 when I joined the RAF. Two years later at a formal interview for a Commission I was informed that should I be successful, then I would require elocution lessons.

We all have accents to a greater or lesser degree, but if we all wrote in them then there'd be a lot of misunderstanding as the reader couldn't be sure of what the writer was intending to say.
Luckily most of us write in plain English so we know what the writer is saying without having to think about it.
I can just about live with one affected forumite but if we all started doing it I'd soon leave

Seems a strange thing for a fully grown man to do but each to their own I guess.

Unfortunately Dave, when I emigrated from Rochdale to Mansfield as a 7 yr old in 1970. When you were stuck in a classroom with Jocks, geordies, mackems, Yorkies, Cumbrians, Notts, Taffs, Lancastrians, Staffs, Men of Kent and Kentish man, ( there’s a differance), Derbyshires finest, Polish. You learned to sink or swim. I lived in a multicultural society before it became the phrase to use for a harmonious society.

What has all that got to do with typing in English? I have an accent but it doesn't affect my spelling.Unfortunately Dave, when I emigrated from Rochdale to Mansfield as a 7 yr old in 1970.

If someone wants to type in a phonetic accent, I don't mind too much.
I find it entertaining.
But not if we all did it - that would be tedious.

He was simply quoting what someone said. The way it was pronounced was fundamental to it being a quote.

Type it as they spoke if it is appropriate.Mental note to self......when quoting someone type it in a regional accent
You don't normally ask for a translator when someone with an accent speaks to you.

Folks, we’ve had a bit of fun discussing regional accents. But back on track please. This is supposed to be a thread for a bit of laughter and light relief - there is plenty of scope to fall out with one another elsewhere on the forum!
