I’m starting a new thing here. For those of you who get the newsletter, you’ll be familiar with the ‘around the coffee table’ section. Well, instead of me just coming up with answers, Daeus and I will be posting questions here for all of you to discuss as well. One of the answers, (or parts of it, if the discussion goes long) will be posted in the newsletter along with the link to this thread.

So, first question by K. G. (I don’t know your forum tag if you’re on here, but maybe someone else does.)

When portraying dialect, how much is too much? How can you make a regional dialect sound realistic without going overboard with weird spellings and scattering random regionalisms throughout the conversation?
