I've found a LOT of the local ads here in MO actually *do* spell like it sounds... with the regional accent.
'round here, the gentleman of the chicken species actually *is* called a "rustar" and little bitty chickens are actually called "banny".
when I first moved here from CA, I thought WHAT is WRONG with these people? can't they Spell? Type? WHAT?
and then I figured out "I want to sale some banny rustars" is exactly what they're saying.
well, actually it's more like "Ah waant ta sa-el sum banny rustahs"... so really, the spelling's not that far off.
BTW, 'less you think I'm dissin' the region, I'm totally charmed by the local accent... I'm trying to sound just like it.
