Re: Medival and Deep South accents

Personally, I don't like it when they mangle the writing to convey a dialect. I'd stick with an occaissional y'all, contractions, and maybe a few colloquialisms. For South Missouri, for example, it would be you all, crick(for creek), nekkid(ain't got no clothes on), and Missoura. Spelling every word phoenetically is too much. It actually makes the dialog hard to comprehend.
