Subject: Re: eye dialect



As Don points out, we have to know the dialect of the speaker. But I think

the "whut" spelling has become pretty universal in dialect writing,

regardless of whatever specific region is being represented.



(For the record, I was looking at an "Amos n Andy" script reporduced in

the recent Free Press book on that show.)
